Take Time

Things aren't always gonna go your way
Your often gonna miss the small things
Don't forget to just stop a moment
And take some time for yourself
So often we get caught up in life
And forget whats most important in our lives
Work can make us run so jagged
Bills can drive us completely insain
Noone ever said life was easy
But if you've made it this far
Theres still so much ahead
Whens the last time you did something just  for you
Its not being selfish
Its being relaxed by yourself
A stroke or heart attack wont sit and wait
High blood pressure don't just go away
Stress don't just happen over night
Sometimes you gotta stop and slow down in life
Noones gonna set time aside
Noones gonna stop time but yourself
Wake up and look around
Cause someday it'll be way to late
