When I was a boy
I was always caught in the middle
I was never a winner
Just a loner in the crowd
Looking for a way out
Then I grew a little older
And a little bolder
I grew impatient
The future I was chasing
Never seemed to be within my reach
Til I heard somebody say
(Slow, slow down"¦)
Nothing's gonna happen before it's time
(Slow, slow down"¦)
Let the pieces fall into place and you'll be fine
[Chorus:]
Take your time
So I'm waiting,
Cause I know I'm gonna be
Next in line
To claim my prize, and be all that I wanna be
I work so hard to earn my place
And good things come to those who wait
So made it out, eventually
I took the leap
And I landed on my feet
Yeah I found my team, my family
And as I chase this dream
I know that they believe in me
And we're onto something good (I know)
We're bout to conquer this world
I'm so glad that I
Took my own time
I'm glad I did it the right way
(Slow, slow down"¦)
Now I listen to my instincts when I lose my way
(Slow, slow down"¦)
And that's when they say
[Chorus:]
Take your time
So I'm waiting,
Cause I know I'm gonna be
Next in line
To claim my prize, and be all that I wanna be
I work so hard to earn my place
And good things come to those who wait
Now I know if I died tomorrow
I wouldn't regret a single thing
I wanna look back on where I've been
And know that I made, my own way
That I lived each day, and owned it
Working for that good thing, that good thing
[Chorus:]
Take your time
So I'm waiting,
Cause I know I'm gonna be
Next in line
To claim my prize, and be all that I wanna be
I work so hard to earn my place
And good things come to those who wait
Good things, those who wait
I appreciate those who wait
Thank you to those who wait
Good things come
