SLOW THE WORLD DOWN

Everybody’s in a hurry

Caught up in keeping up with things that don’t matter at all

Searching for short cuts

To speed things up as if life is not fast enough

What happened to the front porch

Passing the day with a wave to all the cars as they pass

Time stops for no one

We’ve all got one thing in common and its that we’re not growing young

So let’s unplug the clocks not let another minute pass

Help me find a way to stop this life from moving so fast

Won’t you come and slow the world down

Slow the world down

Slow the world down with me

Don’t think about tomorrow

I make a toast to just enjoy the taste of today

Cause life is such a short song

We’ve all got to dance to the beat of the second hand slowly counting down

Let’s unplug the clocks not let another minute pass

Help me find a way to stop this life from moving so fast

Won’t you come and slow the world down

Slow the world down

Slow the world down with me

I’ll take the quiet of the country or the sand of the beach

A place where telephone lines don’t reach

Far from the city lights that steal the stars from the night sky

And the high rise shadows that block out the sunlight

Where the sand castle is safe cause the tide is always low

There’s always time and it always runs slow

Slow the world down

Slow the world down

Slow the world down with me
