Patience is a Mystery

Where did all the time go in the day
Minutes turned to hours like a game
Making me wonder if I will sink or swim
No one prepared me how I am supposed to win

Thinking all the ways I'll make the year
Different then the last one for I fear
I'm stuck in a pattern and never getting out
Trapped in a circle a ticking roundabout

I'm chasing the clock and praying for rest
Trying as I might to pass the test

Patience is a mystery a tough one to crack
When I finally break it I'm not turning back
Slowly but surely I never have tried
Maybe I will get there before the end of time

Someone came along who could it be
Father Time old friend and enemy
Making me anxious the work that's left undone
When will I finish and finally have some fun

I'm chasing the clock and praying for rest
Trying as I might to pass the test

Patience is a mystery a tough one to crack
When I finally break it I'm not turning back
Slowly but surely I never have tried
Maybe I will get there before the end of time

Puzzle pieces adding up the picture's of a flame
Burning down a candle and whispering my name
Telling me to wait a while and take it day by day
Making sure I see it the worry in my way

I'm chasing the clock and praying for rest
Trying as I might to pass the test

Patience is a mystery a tough one to crack
When I finally break it I'm not turning back
Slowly but surely I never have tried
Maybe I will get there before the end of time
