[Verse 1: C.C.]
I know you have questions
Same ones as me
How long has it been?
How long will it be?
When will come the morning
To drive the night away?
When will come the morning
Of a brighter day?
[Chorus: C.C.]
Patience, little sisters
Patience, little brothers
Patience, patience
Take each other by the hand
Patience, little sisters
Patience, little brothers
Let us walk together
To the Promised Land
[Bridge: Jimmy Early (Lorrell Robinson)
There's a river to cross
And a mountain to climb
Patience, patience
It's gonna take some time
(We must walk in peace)
(It's the only way)
If we want to see the morning
Of a brighter day (Of a brighter day)
[Chorus: Jimmy Early & Lorrell Robinson]
Patience, little sisters
Patience, little brothers
Patience, patience
We're gonna find a way
Patience, little sisters
Patience, little brothers
Until the morning
Of a brighter day, hey
Patience, patience
'Til that brighter day
Patience, patience
'Til that brighter day
I know you have questions
Same ones as me
How long has it been?
How long will it be?
When will come the morning
To drive the night away?
When will come the morning
Of a brighter day?
[Chorus: C.C.]
Patience, little sisters
Patience, little brothers
Patience, patience
Take each other by the hand
Patience, little sisters
Patience, little brothers
Let us walk together
To the Promised Land
[Bridge: Jimmy Early (Lorrell Robinson)
There's a river to cross
And a mountain to climb
Patience, patience
It's gonna take some time
(We must walk in peace)
(It's the only way)
If we want to see the morning
Of a brighter day (Of a brighter day)
[Chorus: Jimmy Early & Lorrell Robinson]
Patience, little sisters
Patience, little brothers
Patience, patience
We're gonna find a way
Patience, little sisters
Patience, little brothers
Until the morning
Of a brighter day, hey
Patience, patience
'Til that brighter day
Patience, patience
'Til that brighter day
