All of your life has been rambling, scurrying Take your time rather than hurry Never too late to write the rest of your story Remember to breathe or else you're gonna be sorry Life's no race, it's a companion Always face with reckless abandonment A ticket to life as the mother once told me Stick with your pride and you're gonna be lonely Everybody says that life takes patience But nobody wants to wait Everybody says we need salvation But nobody wants to be saved The light in the tunnel is just another runaway train The blue skies we wait on Are gonna have to come after the rain Spend your days happy and grateful Avoid the taste of wanting and wasteful Every good thing will come in moderation Envy and greed will only lead to frustration Choose your friends, carefree and kindly Choose your words, careful and wisely Always be there to lend a comforting shoulder One will be there to share a day when you're older (a day when you're older) Everybody says that life takes patience But nobody wants to wait Everybody says we need salvation But nobody wants to be saved The light in the tunnel is just another runaway train The blue skies we wait on Are gonna have to come after the rain Old mistakes committed upon us Always take a toll on the conscience Every regret is a gift that you live with Never forget to remember forgiveness Everybody says that life takes patience But nobody wants to wait Everybody says we need salvation But nobody wants to be saved The light in the tunnel is just another runaway train The blue skies we wait on Are gonna have to come after the rain Gonna have to come after the rain (rain, yeah) Gonna have to come after the rain (rain) Rain, yeah Rain Gonna have to come after the rain
