Slow Down - Unitopia

Have you ever watched your child on a merry-go-round

Or listened to the rain splashing to the ground?

Did you ever have a dream that was way out of sight

Or gazed at the moon into the fading night?

You’d better slow down, don’t move so fast

Time is short, the music won’t last

Do you run through each day with nowhere to go?

When your mind is in a muddle, when you can’t get thoughts to flow

And when the day is done do you lie in your bed

With a hundred-thousand voices rushing through your head?

You’d better slow down, don’t move so fast

Time is short, the music won’t last

Did you ever tell your friends, 'We'll do it tomorrow."

And in your haste, not see their sorrow?

Did you ever let a good friendship die

Because you never had time to call and say «Hi!»

You’d better slow down, don’t move so fast

Time is short, the music won’t last

Time is running out for the planet earth

Can’t figure it out, this world, this life, this reason, what went wrong?

So many men and women tried to be brave and strong

We’ve got to slow down before it’s too late

We’re rushing here, we’re rushing there and no-one seems to really care

Where the hell are we going?

Just get there on time!

When you drive so wild to get somewhere

You miss half the fun and you end up going nowhere

And when you hurry through your day

It’s like an unopened gift thrown away

You move at such a fast pace, you’ve got to take it slower

Hear the music before the song is over
