Long-Suffering and Kind

Come with me and let us reason together Let's listen to each other as a woman and a man We are two joined together to love one another But there's just one thing we need to understand Even though I receive you just as you are And even though you receive me just as I am We must learn to change together to make things better Without demanding our own way to be in command Be long-suffering and kind It's going to take some time for change And suffering wrong some times We may endure some grief and pain But then all in due time We'll see like hearts and like-minds will be gained So be long-suffering and kind Cause its going to take some time for change (Chorus) Its not that I want you to be just like me it's not that you desire me to be just like you Yet we must change to grow and we must grow as one No longer two on our own, we've got real love to prove In considering each other before ourselves We will sacrifice more often than what we plan In becoming what the other needs we'll be fulfilled For every grief is erased because we've learned and understand That if I concentrate on you and if you concentrate on me We won't push ourselves forward, be self-seeking or rude For I'm concerned with your pleasure And you're concerned with pleasing me Because you really care for me and I really love you. (Chorus)
