Stop and Look
Stop and look at people rushing by
Never taking time to see the view
Always having too much work to do
Going nowhere, never asking why
Life must be a race until they die
The ticking clock becomes their Waterloo
Stop and look
It seems so sad it makes me want to cry
Don’t you ever sit and wonder who
Said this spinning world won’t wait for you?
A slower pace is easy if you try
Stop and look
