Journey - Patiently Lyrics






Here I stand so patiently
For your lights to shine on me
For your song inside of me
This we bring to you

In the shadow of love
Time goes by leaving me helpless
Just to reach and try
To live my life
These are my reasons, so

here we stand so patiently
For your song inside of me
For your lights to shine on me
This we bring to you
One, One, in a million

    First saw journey in 79 Cleveland Ohio been hooked since

  26. m.... ....

    The first song Steve wrote with Journey.

  27. O.... V....

    Another song that goes with this song is "Why can't this night go on forever" The video is awesome though it doesn't include Rollie or Vallory but the tale and the feeling is Very Deep being a long time Journey fan it is without doubt a thank you to the Fans but also might have been a deeper meaning in what was to be with Journey and Perry it actually has the same quality as "Patiently"

  28. M.... A....

    bad ass song!!!

  29. M.... V....

    A TRIBUTE to the members of LYNYRD SKYNRD in the plane crash in October, 1977. This was written in 15 minutes in a motel room. Neal Schon the bad ass lead guitarist and Steve Perry wrote this song. Neal & Steve combo was the ultimate Journey experience.

    M.... V....

    Mystics Videos Fly on Freebirds!!!! Wish they was still here with us!!!!🦅🎸🦅

  30. G.... M....

    When fellow rock band Journey learned of the crash during sessions for their 1978 album Infinity, guitarist Neal Schon and newly hired vocalist Steve Perry composed the song "Patiently", recorded as a memorial to the lost members of Lynyrd Skynyrd....
    Wikipedia

  31. T.... 1....

    Fun fact this song was written in memory of the people who died in the Lynyrd Skynyrd crash like Ronnie Van Zant

  32. M.... S....

    R.I.P lynyrd skynyrd, This song was written as a memorial after the crash on October 20, 1977 that claimed Ronnie Van Zant, Steve & Cassie Gaines (brother & sister) & three others on board. We wish you were here with us now...:'(

    you'll live on in our hearts forever.

    M.... S....

    Steven Tyler was hit pretty hard by the crash I’ve heard. Aerosmith was going to charter the plane a few weeks prior, but they noticed the pilot and copilot getting hammered before a flight and decided not to charter it

    M.... S....

    I never knew that! Interesting bit of trivia to know!

    M.... S....

    No way? I never heard that..☹️

    M.... S....

    M. S. L. I want to say this some Randy Rhoads should have noticed to never get on a plane with somebody who's under the influence of Narcotics I heard the guy who owns that have mansion that house where Randy Rhoads has killed I heard he had expired l pilot's license and he took the plane the guy charger took the plane anyway and Randy Rhoads was afraid of flying for what I heard it's so crazy that good people are Argon you know plane crashes car accidents you name it is so sad I just wish people would start taking more responsibility for their actions

  33. s.... ....

    His voice is perfect.

  34. K.... H....

    The first piece of music ever written by the timeless duo Steve Perry and Neal Schon

  35. F.... E....

    Perry says it was the first song they wrote together. I had never heard it but I can definitely see the early sounds of all the power ballads they are known for. This song belongs right there with them.

  36. G.... R....

    What a jewel!

  37. F.... A....

    So Luv Steve Perry voice!!! Purity! !

  66. J.... S....

    Man, that riff by Nail in the beginning, with Steve's absolutely perfect voice literally just gave me goose bumps, since I haven't heard this song in quite a while. I am about in the 10th repeat now. Takes me back to a better time, before time had wore me down, and took away my zest for life.

    one, one! in a million! ooh, ooooohhh Oo ah owe ah ooooohhh owe ah Ooohh ooooooawww! You know you can't help but sing along to that 😊

  68. Z.... G....

    Some things stick in your memory.
    30 years ago I was at an Iron Maiden concert. While we waited for the show to start the PA system played a mix of various rock and roll, to keep us entertained. Each song came and went , from Bob Segar to Heart to Billy Squire, without objection. Nobody really seemed to care what was playing... until Journey came on. Many in the crowd immediately began booing loudly.
    I wonder if they still would have booed if they had known that Iron Maiden themselves had selected every song - including the Journey tune?
    Maiden's Bassist Steve Harris, recalling the show, said in a subsequent interview that the boos surprised him , and said, of Journey, (and I'm paraphrasing), that "they're good at what they do" and that "you just can't knock it".

    Z.... G....

    My experience has been that musicians often have far more eclectic tastes than many of their fans. I'd say that's especially true of metal and punk fans – and I've been hugely into both for a long time. You know who else is into Journey? John Lydon, a.k.a. Johnny Rotten of the Sex Pistols.

    Z.... G....

    Thanks for sharing this. ♡

    Z.... G....

    Totally agree, those in the early 80s loved their hard rock or nothing, and those that loved soft rock were the same. I myself loved Maiden, Devo, REO, and the different genres of music, but you couldnt let your rocker friends know if you liked the soft rock!! haha

    Z.... G....

    +Harry Kelly if you admitted to liking this you'd be a spaz or a dork. lol

  69. 1.... ....

    this song was written in 15 fuckin minutes in a hotel room… god damn genius on both parts

    1.... ....

    +1996pnut  and one of  their best songs... (just one of them)   Love it!!

    It's a must to turn the volume way up!!... who cares about the noise oridence

  73. N.... ....

    An even bigger eargasm than back in '78! My mom bought me this album for my 8th b-day. My interest in drumming was sparked at age 5 with the first Bad Co album...but this album and seeing Jouney on Soundstage back then, seeing Aynsley playing that big set of Ludwigs made me know for sure: I wanted to be a drummer!

  74. K.... K....

    One in a million voice! One in a million song! thx for posting!

  75. E.... R....

    The one song to play for your girl ....... You lucky bastards.....

  76. P.... H....

    I am among one of the first to buy this record, although I live in the Netherlands. Brings back such good memories of a time long ago. And somehow it seems like good music like this never ages...

  77. D.... M....

    Your fans are waiting patiently, Steve, for your lights to shine on us again.

    D.... M....

    Dale Moar yes indeed 👏👏👏👏

  78. J.... M....

    Damn definitely my favorite Journey CD...................INFINITY- Timeless Classic!

  79. D.... B....

    Ah my youth is raging tonight through the speakers of the laptop. I know her name, I see her face. Life was never the same after all of these years. Just the sound needed tonight.

    D.... B....

    Oh, I am at where you were now.  I feel it.  Damn, to be 22 again.

    D.... B....

    D.... B....

    +David Blood your comment and Michelle's replies are killing me. I remember a Michelle from my youth. I met her at a Junior Achievement convention, and never talked to her again, and yet her memory lingers. Much like the emotion in this song.

  80. L.... ....

    Just breathe~~

  81. c.... ....

    The beginning of the end
    Great album 

  82. M.... W....

    Brilliant

  83. B.... H....

    yet another great journey song that few people know of...

    B.... H....

    Bathe Her And Bring Her To Me right

  84. E.... O....

    Classic!  What a blessing!  Thank you for Your Music...JOURNEY  <3

  85. K.... M....

    It's funny. The description says "amazing vocals" -- as if Steve Perry is capable of anything else. Haha, I feel like I should have a joke about Steve Perry's vocals, in the spirit of the Chuck Norris/Most Interesting Man in the World jokes, but I can't think of one right now.

    K.... M....

    What?!? Just because somebody likes Steve Perry, doesn't mean they DIS-respect the rest of Journey. Why would you think that?

  86. A.... D....

    Awesome !

  87. C.... M....

    Dat halfway point.

  88. J.... M....

    The Beginning of the Heyday of Journey. Herbie  Herbert helped mold this sound. Brought Schon, Rollie and Perry together to start the 2nd Phase of Journey!

  89. M.... D....

    This is an incredible song and would go on to showcase the Perry/Schon lyric/music writing talents. Look up the song's origins sometime. It was the first Perry/Schon collaboration ever written, completed spontaneously in a matter of minutes in a Denver hotel room when they were forced to meet by Journey's record label. At the the time, Perry had never recorded with (or even met) the other members of the group.

  90. E.... R....

    Best song of all time.

  91. S.... W....

    I know that, I was trying to point out to gpat Clapp that Greg Rolie was in a rather famous group as he does not seem to have heard of him.

  92. T.... S....

    neil too is from santana

  93. M.... P....

    although Castronovo might be able to.

  94. c.... ....

    Journey "Of A life Time" and "Look Into The Future"
    much better music Neal you are the Man.

  95. S.... W....

    Steve was the best, but I still love going to see Journey in concert with a really good singer, rather than no Journey at all.

  96. S.... W....

    Greg Rolie was in Santana, heard of them??

  97. S.... W....

    however patiently was written in 1978, hear about it later released in 1981

  98. E.... R....

    just like van halen on hear about it later... so true...

  99. E.... R....

    Fuck you renown
