- Patience
- Patience - George Michael
- It's like a conversation,
- where no-one stops to breathe
- Is it my imagination,
- or did God already leave the table?
- Such destruction,
- and pure white castles in the sand
- No time for introduction
- With all that money changing hands
- And the satellite says,
- “Take a look at all we have”
- But the old man says,
- “You want my family,
- for your liberty I can't do that.”
- Look into the eyes of any patient man
- Whether they be amber, green or blue,
- There's a piece of God staring back at you
- But they see our children,
- and the old folk fend for themselves
- They see our broken women
- On imaginary shelves
- But the satellite says,
- “Won't you people look at all we have?
- Don't you want it?
- Can't you see the things that you lack?”
- Children in his arms, he turns his back.
