Have you ever watched kids playing on a merry-go-round, or listened to the rain slapping on the ground?
Have you ever followed a butterfly's erratic flight, or gazed at the sun into the fading night?

You had better slow down. Don't dance so fast, time is short.

Do you run through each day on the fly?
When you ask "How are you?", do you hear the reply?
When the day is done and you are in bed,
are your next hundred chores
running through your head?

You had better slow down. Don't dance so fast.
Time is short, the music won't last.

Have you ever told a child "We will do it tomorrow", and in your haste not seen their sorrow?
Have you ever lost touch,
let a good friendship die,
because you never had time to call and say "Hi"?

You had better slow down. Don't dance so fast.
Time is short, the music won't last.

When you run so fast to get somewhere,
you miss half the fun of getting there.

When you worry and hurry through your day,
it is like an unopened gift....thrown away.

Life is not a race.
Do take it slower.
Here the music,
before the song is over.
