Lyrics
Slow Down -Verse 1 I know I’ve been up-tight lately, ‘cause I’ve been busy running around I’ve tried to slow down a little, but time’s been pressing me down I’ve tried to cut every corner, and outrun every traffic light But no matter which way I turn, I always hit a stop sign -Pre-Chorus Then I try to turn away, wish I’d run a different way Realize all my mistakes…and give myself the blame -Chorus Then I hear a river flowing Splashing the rocks to the shore I want a moment to listen some more It reminds me of the beauty of life With all I’ve held inside, I couldn’t have enjoyed a moment I cried But all I need is a minute…to slow down -Verse 2 Too many minutes passing, I’m staring at the hand of the clock Watching every tick it’s making, wishing I could make it stop There’s so much to do in my time, but no way could I do it all And when I look at the big picture, I suddenly feel small -Pre-Chorus 2 But my instincts are telling me, I’ve gotta let myself believe Imagination is the key, to making myself free -Chorus -Bridge The river’s path is always changing, it could never stay the same It’s gotta find a way on its own, the rocks can’t stand in its way I’ve gotta let go of my mistakes, and put a stop to the blame ‘Cause all that’s left to say is…Slow Down -Chorus
