Slow the World Down Songtext
von Erick Baker

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
