Slow down, slow down,
Take your time dear brother
Why must we all be frantic bound.
There's happiness around us
For everyone to share
So take your time dear brother
Slow down.

Why must it be the trend
To hurry towards the end
'Cause in the end you always seem to find,
That yonder hills are burned
And then you've sadly learned
The green hills of happiness
The ones you left behind.


Slow down, slow down
Take your time dear brother
Why must your life be so unreal.
Your heart is in dispair,
You're crowded everywhere,
In your dreary world of concrete and steel.

Let's cleanse our hearts of hate
Before it is too late,
And try to spread some happiness around
There's joy in helping others
If you should find them down
So let us all be brothers
Let us all slow down.
