Its going to take awhile

Its going to take awhile

by Joel Howard

Friends don't understand

Child, you don't understand

How could they? 

The works I do for you

The plans I have for you

Holy Spirit knows, he does

Remember when you were two? 

Probably not, do you

How about when you were three? 

See I remember you, in the womb

I remember you, how long it took, son

I remember, Joel

Remember when you were four? 

Remember when you were five? 

Remember that look in your eye? 

See I remember you, in the womb

I remember you, how long it took, son

I remember you

That stranger on the street? 

I remember when he was born

That woman at the store? 

See I remember you, in the womb

I remember you, how long it took, son

How long it took

Its going to take awhile

Just like a garden grows

Its going to take some time

See I remember you, in the womb

I remember you, how long it took, son

I remember 

The whole world spins

The sun shines on it

The galaxies are in my rearview mirror

See I remember you, in the womb

I remember you, how long it took, son

I remember wholly

Sometimes the music you make

Reminds me of how the earth quakes

You groan and you groan over each small mistake

I remember you

I remember you

Sometimes the days that you awake

Are full of the worries of making mistakes

Do you know how long this is all going to take? 

I remember you

I remember you

Restless child

Restless soul

Sit for awhile

Restless one

Restless son

Sit for awhile

Sit for awhile

Its going to take awhile
