Everybody's in a hurry
Caught up in keeping up
With things that don't matter at all
Searching for shortcuts
To speed things up
As if life is not fast enough
What happened to the front porch
Passing the day with the wave to
All the cars as they pass
Time stops for no one
We've all got one thing in common
And it's that we're not growing young
Let's unplug the clocks
Not let another minute pass
Help me find a way to stop this life
From moving so fast
Won't you come and slow the world down
Slow the world down
Slow the world down with me
Don't think about tomorrow
I make a toast to just enjoy
The taste of today
Cause life's such a short song
We've all got to dance
To the beat of the second hand
Slowly counting down
Let's unplug the clocks
Not let another minute pass
Help me find a way to stop this life
From moving so fast
Won't you come and slow the world down
Slow the world down
Slow the world down with me
I'll take the quiet of the country
Or the sand of the beach
A place where telephone lines
Don't reach far
From the city lights that steal
The stars from the night sky
And the high rise shadows
That block out the sun light
Where the sandcastles sink
Cause the tide's always low
There's always time and
It always runs slow
Slow the world down
Slow the world down
Slow the world down
