let me be patient let me be kind

make me unselfish without being blind,

though I may suffer I'll envy it not

and endure what comes

cause he's all that I got

and tell him, tell him i need him

tell him i love him and it'll be alright

tell him be alright be alright

now i may have faith

to make mountains fall

But if I lack love

then I am nothin' at all

I can give away

everything I possess

But left without love

then I have no happiness

I know I'm imperfect

And not without sin

But now that I'm older

all childish things end

and tell him

Tell him I need him

Tell him I love him

And it'll be alright

Tell him be alright be alright

I'll never be jealous

And I won't be too proud

Cause love is not boastful

ooh and love is not loud

tell him i need him

tell him i love him

everything is gonna is gonna be

alriiiiight..

now i may have wisdom

and knowledge on earth

but if i speak wrong

ooh what is it worth

see what we now know is

nothing compared

to the love that was shown

when our lives were spared

and tell him tell him i need him

tell him i love him

and it'll be alright

tell him be alright be alright

tell him be alright be alright
