Slowing Down

Moving forward way too fast
We dream of things that might not last
We dream of things that keep us bound
Waiting for purpose to be finally found

Hopes get trampled on the ground
A cry for help, but there's no sound
A lot of things that we have missed
The time to stop we must resist

But slowing down is not so bad
The things you’d find, you would be glad
There’s more to life than you would think
So don’t just lose them in a blink

Something we must always know,
Everyday has a lot to show
So slow down and look around
See the view and hear the sounds

There’s always something new to see
Find new things with such beauty
There’s always hope in little things
Enjoy the things that life still brings

Encounter things that are yet to be
Come across a discovery
There’s this hope that’s always there
So just slow down and don’t despair
