Have you ever watched kids on a merry-go-round, or to listen to rain, slapping the ground?

Ever followed a butterfly's erratic flight, or glazed at the sun into the fading night.


You'd better slow down,
don't dance so fast,
time is short,
the music won't last.


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, do you lie down in your bed, with the next hundred chores running throught your head?


You'd better slow down,
don't dance so fast,
time is short,
the music won't last.


Ever told you child, "We'll do it tomorrow", and in your haste, not seen the sorrow?

Ever lost touch, let a good friendship die, 'cause you never had time to call and say, "Hi"?


You'd 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's like an unopened gift...thrown away.
