Life is long and you have much time
You're in a rush and you don't know why
You want it all and you want it now
But you doubt your talent and you don't know how
Look around at what others do
Think it's easy so why not you
But success isn't overnight
So if you want to win you're gonna have to fight
Hold on, hold on
It's gonna be a long time
Hold on, hold on
'Cause it's gonna be a long, long time
Hey!
There are times when you might give in
Thinking there's just no way to win
Looking sideways at other folks
Thinking you're the butt of everyone's jokes
But there's one lesson that I've learned
When you feel that you can't return
That is that you should persevere
Because you won't get it done by living in fear
Hold on, hold on
It's gonna be a long time
Hold on, hold on
'Cause it's gonna be a long, long time
Oh
Oh
They say get rich
Buy a car, a house, a diamond ring
But that won't really make you happy
So hold on, hold on
It's gonna be a long time
Hold on, hold on
Cause it's gonna be a long, long time
Hold on, hold on
It's gonna be a long time
Hold on, hold on
'Cause it's gonna be a long, yes it's gonna be a long
And it's gonna be a long, long time
