Have you ever watched kids,
On a merry-go-round
Or listened to the rain,
Lapping at the ground?
Ever followed a butterfly's erratic flight,
Or gazed at the sun in 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

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 time,
To stop 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 of getting there
When you worry and hurry through your day,
It is like an unopened gift...
thrown away...

Life is not a race
Take it slower
Hear the music
Before the song is over.
