Slow down put your feet on the ground
Before you take the next step
Look twice before you step on the ice
You never know when you might slip
Listen close to the ones who know
You might hear some good advice
Let go of your self control
You never know it might even be nice
May be nice   May be nice   May be nice

It may be nice to forget all your worries
To just slow down and not be in a hurry
To have some fun and enjoy your life
So listen close to my advice
Slow down  slow down  slow down
Before you're six feet underground

So deep better look before you leap
Never know where you might land
Back slide though you say that you tried
You couldn't find a place to stand
Rocky ground that's where you're bound
Though not exactly what you had planned
Long roads and extra heavy loads
Seems to be your lives demands

Hold tight with all your might
To all the things you don't need
You will set yourself for the ****
If that's what it takes to succeed
Cut deep but blood isn't cheap
So you sit and watch yourself bleed
Don't care cause you're going nowhere
And you only want to be freed

It may be nice to forget all your worries
To just....slow down...
And not be in a hurry
