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
dont dance so fast
time is short
the music wont last

Do you run through each day
on the fly?
When you ask “how are you?
do you ever hear the reply
When the day is gone
do you lie in your bed
with the next hundred chores
running through your head
you better slow down
dont dance so fast

Ever told your child
we´ll do it tomorrow
and in your haste
not see his sorrow
Ever lost touch
let a good friend die
cause you never had time
to call and say ”hi?"
you better slow down
dont dance so fast
time is short
The music wont 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
