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 momma say
|
|
Slow down baby
|
ya goin to fast.
|
You got your hands in the air
|
With your Feet on the gas.
|
You 'bout to wreck your future,
|
Run from your past.
|
You need to slow down before you go down baby.
|
|
Thinking the faster that I go
|
The faster that I will reach my goal
|
The race is not given to the swift
|
But to the one who endureth.
|
I thought that all of my obstacles were behind me.
|
Walking around like I'm made out of diamond.
|
I tripped and fell and it reminded me to move over and let the angels guide me.
|
|
Slow down baby
|
ya goin to fast.
|
You got your hands in the air
|
With your Feet on the gas.
|
You 'bout to wreck your future,
|
Run from your past.
|
You need to slow down before you go down baby.
|
|
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... Ah, No...No...
