Have you ever watched kids
on a merry go round?
Or listened to the rain
slapping on the ground?
Ever followed a butterfly's erratic flight?
Or gazed at the sun into the fading night?
You'd better slow down.
Dont dance so fast.
Time is short.
The music wont last.
do you run through your day
on the fly?
when you ask "how are you"
do you hear the reply?
when the day is done
do you lie in your bed
with the next hundred chores
running through your head?
you'd better slow down.
dont dance so fast.
time is short.
the music wont last.
ever told your child,
we'll do it tomorrow?
and in your haste,
not see their sorrow?
ever lost touch,
let a good friendship die
cause you never had time
to call and say "hi"
you'd better slow down.
dont dance so fast.
time is short.
the music wont last.
when you run so fast to get somewhere
you miss half the fun of getting there.
when you worry and hurry through your day,
it's like an unopened gift...
thrown away.
life is not a race-do take it slower
hear the music,
before the song is over.
