Slow Down

So far from where I started out

So far from where I wanna be

Listening for answers in the wind

But can't find a rock to plant my feet



Looking for love in all the wrong places

Down on my knees and now

I'm praying for patience

I know there's gotta be a better way

In the back of my mind I hear my mama say



Chorus:

Slow it down baby

You're going too fast

You've got your hands in the air

with your feet on the gas

Your bout to wreck your future, running from your past.

You need to slow down baby

(Slow down baby)



Ooh, thinking the faster that I go

The faster I will reach my goal

The race is not given to the swift

But to the one who endureth



I thought that all my obstacles were behind me

Walking around like I made out of diamond

I tripped and fell and it reminded me

move over and let the angels guide me.



(Chorus)



Sometimes you gotta be still

Before you can get ahead

Be still

Ask the universe for help

Be real

You can't do it all by yourself



Sometimes sometimes you gotta be still

And take some time to rejuvenate

Be still

And take some time to clear your space

Be real

Chaos isn't good for your health (no no)



Cause I'm breaking things

And I'm losing things

I lost my cell phone again the other day

I don't wanna live this way, No

In the back of my mind I hear my mama say



(Chorus)



Slow down baby

Slow down baby

Slow down baby

Slow down baby
