These Things Take Time by Sanctus Real

I always have so many questions stirring in me, and this song speaks so well to that. I don't slow down well. I don't like that things take time. But, it's the way things are... and it's more the way my life is now than it ever was before the accident. Everything takes much more time than before. It's frustrating, and it makes me wonder 'why.' There are so many questions, but I must always keep my faith in the Lord.

"Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance." (James 1:2-3)




These Things Take Time by Sanctus Real

I wanna know why pain makes me stronger
I wanna know why good men die
Why am I so afraid of the dark,
But I stray from the light?

I wanna know why you gave me eyes
When faith is how I see
And tell me,
Is it easier to doubt
Or harder to believe?

Oh, there’s so many questions stirring in me

Chorus:
And I wonder why
Sometimes the truth ain’t easy to find
I wanna know all the answers
But I’m learning that
These things take time
Yeah, these things take time

How could success make us feel like failures?
And the harder we fall, the harder we try
The more I have, the more I need
Just to feel like I’m getting by

Oh, there’s so many questions and one short life

[Chorus]

And we spend so much time
Chasing our tails, hoping to find
Every last answer
To everything in life

So many questions,
Not enough time

But I’m still
Wondering why
Sometimes the truth ain’t easy to find
I wanna know all the answers
But I’m learning that
These things take time
Yeah, these things take time

Hey!
We all wanna understand why
Evil lives, and good men die
On the way to Heaven the truth unwinds
These things take time
These things take time
Yeah, these things take time
