Have you ever watched kids on a merry go round?
Or listened to the rain slapping on the ground?
Ever followed a butterflies erratic flight?
Or gazed at the sun into the fading night?
You better slow down. Don't dance so fast.
Time is short, the music won't last.
Do you run through each 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?
Ever told your child "We'll do it tomorrow."
And in your haste, not seen his sorrow?
Ever lost touch and let a good friendship die,
cause you never had time to call and say Hi?
You better slow down, don't dance so fast.
Time is short, the music won't last.
When you run so fast to get somewhere, you miss half the fun getting there.
Take it slower,
and hear the music before the song is over.
