Stop

Stop, just stop And take it all in Do you ever get the chance to stop And let something new begin? We’re all in such a hurry To get the next thing done But what then? You still feel like you’re on the run Stop, just stop Take a moment to breathe in the air Do you ever get the chance to stop And show someone how much you care? We take people for granted Often those closest to us And yet for our bosses, We put up such a fuss Stop, just stop And remember what’s key Do you ever get the chance to stop And spend quality time with your family? There is so much beyond your cubicle at work Free time with your sons is the ultimate perk Off to the beach to hike and explore Building sand castles together only leaves you wanting more Stop, just stop Where does your passion lie? Do you ever get the chance to stop And give it a try? Singing? Gardening? Teaching? Maybe Slow down and take the time to see Try to fill your life with whatever brings you joy Instead of cluttering it up with things that only annoy Stop, just stop Thank God for all he’s blessed you with Do you ever get the chance to stop And accept that he’s not a myth?
