I said slow down (slow down) and live my friend
Take time (take time) to understand
The things (the things) you hope to win
Before (before) your journey's end
Slow down (slow down) and try to do
The things (the things) that's right for you
You know the soul you save could be your own.

The things (the things) you hope to win
Before (before) your journey's end
Slow down (slow down) and try to do
The things (the things) that's right for you
You know the soul you save could be your own.
