Slow from Teleology by Peggy Seeger

SLOW

Slow, slow, slow
The way that flowers grow
I don’t know where I’m going
but I don’t need to know
when I’m going slow
so slow

The world speeds up as I slow down
Everything moves so fast
Cardboard cities (built on sand)
Nothing is made to last (that long)
Life’s so precious, blink and it’s gone
Father Time’s still singing his song
So me? I’m walkin’ along…going

Slow, slow, slow
the way that flowers grow
I don’t know where I’m going
but I don’t need to know
when I’m going slow
so slow

There’s winners and there’s losers
But every human race
Becomes a blur of acronyms
When life abbreviates - full stop
... Before the finish line
Take a deep breath and clear your mind
Just watch the world turning around going

Slow, slow, slow
the speed that flowers grow
I don’t know where I’m going
but I don’t need to know
when I’m going slow
so slow
