Slow Down and Live
Man you're rushing here and there
rushing rushing every where
Rushing rushing to and fro
yet you don't know where to go
Work or shop sports or dine
hurry hurry all the time
All of a sudden you slow down
while everyone else is rushing around
To take care of you flat of your back
because you've had a heart attack
So wait a minute stop and say
what's the hurry anyway
There's not a death there's not a fire
or nothing else that so desires
To make you rush in such a way
slow down and live another day
