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 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 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 high rise shadows that block out the sunlight Where the sand castle is safe cause the tide is always low And there's always time and it always runs slow
