Get a Life

The flower at your feet was alive until you stepped on it

But you were in a rush on your way to nowhere

Now when you find yourself looking back on all the paths you've been

There will be no flower there

The robin in the sky sang a sweet song till you tuned it out

But you were occupied getting busy in your head

Now when you find yourself looking for something to sing about

You'll open up your mouth with no melody to lend

Slow down

If you look where you're going, you might

Get a life

Full with every bite

The way your body aches is a language you're too scared to learn

'Cause if you understand, you might have to compromise

But there will come a day when you can't ignore how much it hurts

No choice but to return

To that spot behind your eyes

Where you'll recognize

That you have found a home

And you can bring it anywhere

Slow down

If you look where you're going, you might

Get a life

Full with every bite
