Slow Down Lyrics by Acoustic Junction

Surrounded by Change

0

[Verse 1]
Wake me up if I'm dreamin'
But put me to sleep if I'm awake
I hear the Earth-Mother screamin'
She's nearly had all she can take
People, where are we goin'?
Why must we get there so fast?
We do things without really knowin'
How long the side effects will last

[Chorus]
Slow down, people
Where are we goin' so fast?
Where there's still time to change the road we're on
Take the less traveled path

[Verse 2]
What kind of sanity is this
Where phony values reign supreme?
When you're successful if you're rich
We call it the American dream
And in this land of sleepwalkers
What will cause us to awake
And find the dream is really a nightmare
It leaves us unconscious in its wake

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Verse 1]
Wake me up if I'm dreamin'
But put me to sleep if I'm awake
I hear the Earth-Mother screamin'
She's nearly had all she can take
Well people, where are we goin'?
Why must we get there so fast?
We do things without really knowin'
How long the side effects will last

[Chorus]
Slow down, people
Where are we goin' so fast?
Where there's still time to change the road we're on
Take the less traveled path
Yeah, there's still time to change the road we're on
A-take the less traveled path
