I once talked to a person... This person had quite an overly pessimistic view of humanity and the world, and thus, I was inspired to write this song. Enjoy~
Slow Down
It must be so exhausting,
being so uptight
all the time.
Why don't you loosen up a little,
just unwind,
just for a little while.
Cuz you're going too fast,
you're gonna let it all pass
you by.
So, slow down, slow down.
There's more to life than this.
Slow down, slow down.
You'd be surprised what you're
missing.
Your mind is stuck on the bad,
all the ugly in the world.
You forget to look for the good.
But did you know that there are people
that reach out to help
the less fortunate and misunderstood?
You've got one sided vision,
take it all as it comes,
looking straight ahead, don't look around to see that the sun's
still shining.
So stay positive...
Cuz, yeah, there's evil in the world,
but there's just as much good.
And if you'd stop
to look then you would
see it, too.
So slow down, slow down.
There's more to life than this.
Yeah, slow down, slow down.
You'd be surprised what you miss.
Ya know, there's more to life
than just getting by.
There's more stars than what you
can see in the sky.
There's a better view if
you'd just open your eyes.
There's another way to do this,
won't you give it a try?
Just slow down, slow down.
Embrace this, stay in the
moment.
Slow down, slow down.
You fast forward and skip the good times...
Slow down, slow down, oh.
There's more to life than this.
Slow down, slow down, yeah yeah...
