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

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 you head?



You'd 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 his sorrow?

Ever lost touch,

Let a good friendship die

'Cause you never had time

To call and say "Hi"?



You'd 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

Do take it slower

Hear the music

Before the song is over.
