《Patient Charlie》的詞曲由布萊恩·艾金森（Brian Eno）和喬治·弗斯特（George F. Stewart）合作完成。歌詞全文如下：
Patient Charlie's still waiting for his time
Waiting for his chance to slip away
Charlie's life was one that we should all aspire to
If we want to make a better world
Patient Charlie, the days he spends alone
Sits and waits for someone to call his name
Days and nights turn into endless streams
But he knows he's waiting for a better time
Charlie, Charlie, it's a battle he can't win
Time stands still and hope is just a dream
But he's a fighter, Charlie's got a chance
And that's why he's still here today
Charlie, Charlie, his eyes reflect his pain
Waiting for the moment when he can rise again
In this world, we're all fighting for our lives
And Charlie's fighting for his own
Patient Charlie, the story of our lives
A life that's lived in fear and pain is not a life worth living
Charlie, Charlie, we hope you find your peace
And we pray that one day you will be free
Charlie, Charlie, your story will never die
It lives on in us and in the world we live in today
So remember Charlie, we will never forget
Your story, your strength, your spirit, your fight.
