[C.C.:]
I know you have questions
same ones as me
How long has it been?
How long will it be?
When will come the morning
to drive the night away?
Tell me when will come the morning
of a brighter day?
[Chorus:]
Patience, Little Sister
Patience, Little Brother
Patience, Patience
Take each other by the hand
Patience, Little Sisters
Patience, Little Brothers
Let us walk together
to the Promised Land
[Jimmy:]
There's a river to cross
And a mountain to climb
Patience, Patience
It's gonna take some time
[Lorrell:]
We must walk in Peace
[Jimmy:]
We got to walk in Peace
[Lorrell:]
It's the only, only way
[Jimmy:]
If we want to see that morning
[Jimmy :]
Of a Brighter Day
[Lorrell:]
Of a Brighter Day
[Chorus:]
Patience, Little Sister
Patience, Little Brother
Patience, Patience
We're gonna find a way
Patience, Little Sisters
Patience, Little Brothers
Until that morning of a Brighter Day
Patience, Patience
'Til that Brighter Day
Patience, Patience
