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 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
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 the half fun of getting there
When you worry and hurry through your day
It is like an unopened gift thrown away
Life is not a race
Do take it slower
Hear the music
Before the song is over
