Have you ever watched children on the carousel? Or listened to the rain sweeps the earth?
Have you ever followed butterfly's chaotic flight? Or stared at the sun at sunset?
Better slow down. Don't dance so fast. Time is short. Music won't last forever.
Do you run through every day like you're flying? When you ask how are you, do you hear the answer?
When the day is over, are you going to bed with the next hundred jobs that rush through your thoughts?
Better slow down. Don't dance so fast. Time is short. Music won't last forever.
Do you ever tell your child we will do it tomorrow and in his haste don't you notice his sadness?
Have you ever lost touch and let a good friendship die just because you didn't have time or didn't you call and say "Hey"?
Better slow down. Don't dance so fast. Time is short. Music won't last forever.
When you run to get somewhere you miss half the fun that awaits you there. When you worry and run through the day, it's like throwing away an unopened present.
Life is not a race. Slow down. Hear the music. Before the song ends...
