Slow Down

listen to the sound of the rushing world, wonder what you'd hear if we all slowed down a minute of an hour a second in a day Instead if speeding our lives away What happens if we listen to a voice that is unheard Would that make us different or just a bit absurd Words are the music and in what we say Do we still wish our lives away Tomorrow would you slow down just for a second chance To love someone you left behind to give them one last glance And if you saw a gravestone of someone you held dear Would you stop just for a second and shed a single tear In the sounds of all the speed Will we lose the truth that we all need In a silence we all stare attending what was really there In the hopeless hope is found Making loud yet subtle sounds In the future let me know What would you do in bleeding snow Stop and help the one you loved Or flee the scene as an injured dove In the furry of the fight with what is left will it be flight Tomorrow would you stop and stare if blood washed down Painted walls and streets around And if you new the causer of would you wash your hands with the blood Or would you run to a place of gold a secret place you still behold A place where children frolic and play A place where speed is left where it lay A place of new adventure here A place where newcomers all draw near Listen to the sound of the rushing world Would you listen or just be absurd In what you hear does music play Think of what it would be today In a place where speed was left to lay No more rushing through our life In peace we call it calm without strife Tomorrow may be different or just another dream But this is the part where we place all the seams And in a subtle laughter we may all feel absurd But in the distant future this will be a different world.
