[Intro]
Back in the day, we knew how to treat, yeah
Took it slow, kept it real, no rush, no cheat
But now the streets are racing, hearts are breaking
Where did we lose our way?
[Verse 1]
Walking on the sidewalk, minding my own
Signs all around, telling us to slow down
But people drive like they own the town
Running red lights, the lines all broken down
Got something heavy dragging behind
Trying to cross over, clear in my mind
A sign up, it's plain to see
'Stop here for pedestrians,' simple decree
But folks don't care, they just press on
Lost in a rush, till the break of dawn
What happened to kindness, what happened to calm?
Now it's chaos, it’s a deadly harm
[Pre-Chorus]
Use your eyes, see what's in front of you
Lives are precious, every single one
Slow it down, don’t make me run
This world’s too fast, we’re losing everyone
[Chorus]
What has this world come to?
We used to look out for each other, it's true
Now it's just rush, rush, no regard
We need to change, heal this scar
Stop, look, and see
Respect the signs, respect the safety
What has this world come to?
It’s time we find our way back through
[Bridge]
Dragging weight, heavy load
Trying to move across the road
Signs are there, standing tall
Reminder for us all, after all
Take a breath, slow your pace
It's not a race, it's our space
Let's bring back the care, bring back the grace
Before we all erase the human face
[Outro]
Remember days when we took it slow
When kindness was the way we'd go
Let’s turn around, start anew
Make this world a better view
