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
(Take your time)
So I'm waiting
'Cause I know I'm gonna be
(Next in line) hey
To claim my prize and be all that I wanna be, yeah, yeah
And I work so hard to earn my place
And good things come to those who wait
Wait, wait, wait
Those who wait
Good things come (good things come)
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
I'm so glad that I took my own time
I'm glad I did it the right way
(Slow, slow, slow down)
Now I listen to my instincts when I lose my way
(Slow, slow down) yeah
And that's when they say
(Take your time)
So I'm waiting
'Cause I know I'm gonna be
(Next in line) hey
To claim my prize and be all that I wanna be
And I work so hard to earn my place
And good things come to those who wait
Those who wait, yeah
Good things come
(And I don't want any, any regrets)
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, yeah
(Take your time)
So I'm waiting
'Cause I know I'm gonna be
(Next in line) hey
To claim my prize, and be all that I wanna be, yeah, yeah
And I work so hard to earn my place, yeah
And good things come to those who wait
Take your time
Good things, those who wait
(Next in line) I appreciate those who wait
Thank you to those who wait, yeah, yeah
Good things come, ooh, oh
