Love Patience & Time
Eric Bent Lyrics

I believe in the power inside of my heart
I have faith in my inner strength and capabilities

God is the source from whom we're never apart
I believe in a higher power that is always present in my life

No challenge too great and no cause too small
I am capable of facing any obstacle or task, regardless of its size

This infinite love is inside of us all
I believe that we all possess a boundless capacity for love

My buddy, Greg lost his leg serving time in the desert
A friend of mine, Greg, lost his leg while in military service in the desert

Sitting drinking, thinking of things he couldn't do no more
Greg was feeling down and thinking about all the activities he could no longer do

Took a while for Greg to smile, but I heard he's doing better
It took some time, but Greg eventually found happiness despite his injury

He just won a marathon, second year in a row
Greg has achieved a significant athletic accomplishment by winning a marathon for two consecutive years

Oh, there's a storm that you're gone have to ride in your life
Life will present challenges that must be faced head-on

Hope is the beacon that saves when you're lost in your life
Having hope can guide you through difficult times when you feel lost or uncertain

Just hold on and you'll go with the tide
If you persevere, you will be able to navigate life's ups and downs

Love, patience, and time
These three qualities are important for overcoming adversity and achieving happiness

And it won't take long, till it's gonna be alright
If you have love, patience, and time, things will get better soon

That power is strong in your heart and mine
We all have the strength to overcome challenges with love, patience, and time

I knew a girl, a pretty girl, but her daddy never loved her
I once knew a girl who was physically attractive, but suffered emotionally because her father didn't show her love

She wondered why every guy left her out in the cold
The girl was confused as to why she always ended up alone and abandoned by men

What Daddy did she must forgive, before her heart grows colder
The girl needs to forgive her father for his lack of love, or else she risks becoming bitter and losing her capacity to love

And all the love she's dreaming of, maybe then she will know
By forgiving her father, the girl may find the love and happiness she has been searching for

Yeah, we've got stories and people to blame for our lives
We often blame others or the circumstances of our lives for our problems

No, don't get lost in that circle
However, it's not productive to dwell on blame or get caught in a cycle of negativity

Don't you know that's a lie, the only way is to leave the past behind
This blaming mentality is false and the only way to truly move forward is to let go of the past

There's so much more inside you and me
We all have untapped potential and inner strength

That the world needs to still believe
The world needs to have faith in this potential and the goodness and capacity for love in humanity

Nothing's too great for this God and me
With faith in a higher power and my own abilities, there is no obstacle too great to overcome

Keep in mind love and life
Remember that love and the experience of life are the most important things to hold onto and cherish

Everything is gonna be alright
Despite life's challenges, there is hope for a better future and a belief that things will ultimately be okay

Grab a gun, everyone, said the leader of many
A leader instructed people to pick up weapons and engage in violent conflict

We've got to kill to change the will of the other side
The leader believes that violence and bloodshed are necessary to achieve goals or change the opinions of others

Some people swear that blood and fear will bring the world together
There are individuals who believe that violence and intimidation are necessary to unite the world or achieve a common goal

I believe that all we need love, patience, and time
However, the singer believes that the key to true unity and progress is through love, patience, and time

Love, patience, and time
These three qualities hold the power to bring people together and heal conflicts
