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'd 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.
my life's just passing by in a blur. when i think back what i did yesterday, i hardly remember anything. im just living it the WAY im meant to, like as if life's a template. like everythings set out for you. its boring, its predictable. its sick to think you live day by day meaninglessly and there are people out there dying and treasuring every single remaining day of their lives. is this the way i actually want to live? its frustrating you know, you want to do so many things, but you have ABSOLUTELY no time. i hate singapore's education system, it really stifles creativity. its no wonder why everyone's migrating. and i totally can see why my sister wants to go to an overseas uni so much. she wants to get away from the monotiny of everything. damn.
from tomorrow onwards, im going to try to make my and the people around me's life more meaningful.
