Somebody said I move too fast
That I’m missing the essence of life
It’s as if I can’t wait for another trip
Punching the clock just in time
For the next day to begin
Am I trying to get it all in
Before I die before I know it?
Is there time to take
And move slow like a dance
With the girl who’s no longer a friend
But I don’t know how long I have
It seems some things work against me
I take a pill or a needle to fix me
Then I forget how I once was afraid
So I rush out before it happens again
The music is never going to die
I have my bag full of notes
So many thought by another
But I can help myself to it all
Because it’s something they did send
I didn’t realize the best times
Were when I was complaining
I didn’t like to take a test
Or write a report on a book
Like a lifetime of work that won’t bend
We have to find the time in between
The times we were preparing
And when we became prepared
But are we really ready for it all
It’s almost time for the book to end
When will the knowledge come together?
Did the computer take over my mind?
If so why did any of it matter?
Well it did my dear
Because I finally met my true friend
Now I want to slow it all down
To savor the walk ahead of me
I don’t know the direction or the time
But I will lasso my hurried nature
And won’t let it act as it did intend
And in the moment that it is over
Whether a song or a day or a life
I will know I respected what I have done
Because it was a gift that was mine
It's life is the story only God can mend
