Deborah:
Hey, settle down
Stop racing round
When you go too fast you'll find
Life can pass you by
Perry:
There's a lot of things I wanna get
A lot of things I wanna try
A lot of things I wanna do
I've gotta get a move on if I
Wanna do the things I want
I can't just stand here waiting for you
Deborah:
There is no race
No second place
Everything we do can be
Done gracefully
Perry:
You don't know how many things
I have to get before I get to do
The things I have to do for me
Why is it that you don't get
that I am in a hurry here?
Why don't you just listen to me?
Deborah:
Suddenly it seems
That I understand
Just what you said
Perry:
Oh yeah?
Deborah:
Rushing doesn't help (Perry: nu-uh)
It's best to win the race
With patience instead
Take your time my friends
Every moment can
Be filled with joy
No matter how you rush
You can never get ahead, hey!
Perry:
I get it now
You showed me how
It's exactly how you say
Patience leads the way
When i get upset
Because I haven't gotten what I want
Instead of freaking out
I settle down
Life is nicer when you let
It go the way it's going to go
At least that's true
as far as I've found
When I'm on a line
or in a traffic jam
or waiting room
I always try to keep a level head
People get upset because they
aren't getting what they want
But i just say be patient instead
I just say be patient instead
