SLOW DANCE
Have you ever watched kids
On a merry-go-round?
Or listened to the rain
Slapping on the ground?
Ever followed a
butterfly's erratic flight?
Or gazed at the sun into the fading night?
You better slow down.
Don't dance so fast.
Time is short.
The music won't last.

Do you run through each day
On the fly?
When you ask How are you?
Do you hear the reply?
When the day is done
Do you lie in your bed
With the next hundred chores
Running through your head?
You'd better slow down
Don't dance so fast.
Time is short.
The music won't last.
Ever told your child,
We'll do it tomorrow?
And in your haste,
Not see his sorrow?
Ever lost touch,
Let a good friendship die
Cause you never had time
To call and say,'Hi'
You'd better slow down.
Don't dance so fast.
Time is short.
The music won't last.
When you run so fast to get somewhere
You miss half the fun of getting there.
When you worry and hurry
through your day,
It is like an unopened gift....
Thrown away.
Life is not a race.
Do take it slower
Hear the music
Before the song is over.

..Me..

I took a journey through pain....
Through silence...Through evruthg tht botherd me...
I cried...I burnt maslf in injustice and punishment...
I prayed...hard n hard....to abstain frm da goodnss...thts been in me fr yrs...

I luked here n thr...evry single place i could.....
I wz too scared to let maslf live...to laugh....to be happy....
I thought I wz Doomed..Busted..
I took maslf as in i dnt exist....

Fr me ... i mde thngs harder maslf....
To me...i closed all d doors wid ma own handz...
By doin tht ...i turnd ma lyf into smthg tht i rarely blong wid...
I lost al ma hopes...i stoppd dreamin...

I tried n tried...to hide maslf in da shadowz of sadnss...
It tuk somch outta me...i wz left wid nthin...
No dsire to b happy...No crave to b alive...
Nothin coudnt stop me...neithr ur lov...nor da carin of ma frndz...

All of a Suddn i realized...
M nt actualy lettin maslf loose...m lettin u al fail...
M lettin ur faith get drown in ma passion fr diein...
M lettin al ur hopes down...wht u hold fr me....

Guess wht..I cnt do tht nymor...I wont...
Coz I m bck in Maslf...
I mit b a miracle...or mayb ma gud deeds..tht brought u al in ma life...
N I Beleive its tym to bring maslf bck in shape fr u al...to kill da pain

Nw I Only Fear god...
I Only Want u ...
I only Lov da passion of lovin maslf...
I only Need u al to hold n put me toghthr...

As far as u guyz r wid me...nthin can go wrong...
I cnt let maslf down...coz i bear u widin ma soul...

I lov maslf...I lov bein wid u....
I lov da way u ppl lov me too...
Wid U ...Nw I kno I m sfe...
Wid U ...Nw I Really cn call maslf Truly Blessed...
