SLOW DOWN (SONG)

[Verse 1]
Sat myself down with the kid that I used to be
Talked about all the stuff thats happened to me
Somewhere down the road I lost my play
Spent so much time chasing yesterday
Then he smiled and he said “Hear what I have to say…”
[Verse 2]
You've been running so hard well your time is running out
Living so proud that you forgot what life’s about
You saw every sunset and watched it fall
Put up the ladders and you climbed them all
Then you forgot why you climbed at all

[Chorus]
Slow down and smell the roses
Slow down before the window closes
Before you know it, Your life moves past
And you never saw it, ’Cause you moved too fast
Slow down
Slow down

[Verse 3]
Turn off the engine, pops this ain’t got to be no race
Cause every now and then everybody needs some breathing space
And not every mountain needs your name on top
Some things will happen only when you stop
And learn that life was never meant for just the chase

[Bridge]
Funny little thing how the world moves on
Leaving your memories all long gone
And the ones you love don’t always stay around
So wake up before it’s too late and buddy ... 

[Final Chorus]
Slow down and smell the roses
Slow down before the window closes
Before you know it
The years fly past
And all that mattered
Couldn’t ever last

Slow down
Slow down

[Outro fade out]
Slow down...Take in the moment...Slow down
Slow down...Stand on the ground...Slow down
Slow down...Life’s in the living…Slow down
