Album:
Voyage to IndiaGenre:
unknown
So far from where I started out
So far from where I wanna be
Listening for answers in the wind
But can't find a rock to plant my feet
Looking for love in all the wrong places
Down on my knees and now
I'm praying for patience
I know there's gotta be a better way
In the back of my mind I hear my mama say
Chorus:
Slow down baby
You're going too fast
You've got your hands in the air
And your feet on the gas
You're about to wreck your future, running from your past.
You need to slow down baby
(Slow down baby)
Ooh, thinking the faster that I go
The faster I will reach my goal
The race is not given to the swift
But to the one who endureth
I thought that all my obstacles were behind me
Walking around like I was made of diamond
I tripped and fell and it reminded me
To move over and let the angels guide me.
(Chorus)
Sometimes you gotta be still
Before you can get ahead
Be still
Ask the universe for help
Be real
You can't do it all by yourself
Sometimes sometimes you gotta be still
And take some time to rejuvenate
Be still
And take some time to clear your space
Be real
Chaos isn't good for your health
Cause I'm breaking things
And I'm losing things
And I lost my cell phone again the other day
And I don't wanna live this way, No
In the back of my mind I hear my mama say
(Chorus)
Slow down baby
Going too fast
Slow down baby
Feet on the gas
Slow down baby
Run from the past
Slow down baby
Slow down baby
Slow down baby
