Slow Roads

Woke up with the sun in my eyes,

Another day just passing by,

Tired feet but dreams still strong,

Tryna find where I belong.

People rush, but I move slow,

Chasing things they’ll never know,

I take my time, I breathe it in,

Even when the world won’t grin.

These slow roads, they teach me,

Not every step has to be speedy,

Life’s not a race, it’s a song,

And I’ve been humming all along.

So I’ll walk this road in peace,

Let my doubts and worry cease,

I’ll grow through all my strife,

This is life — just life.

Lessons come in quiet rain,

Through the heartbreak and the strain,

Moments slip like sand through hands,

But still I learn to understand.

No perfect plan, no map in view,

But every day brings something new,

I laugh, I cry, I lose, I find,

Little truths I leave behind.

These slow roads, they teach me,

Not every step has to be speedy,

Life’s not a race, it’s a song,

And I’ve been humming all along.

So I’ll walk this road in peace,

Let my doubts and worry cease,

I’ll grow through all my strife,

This is life — just life.

And maybe I’ll fall, maybe I’ll bend,

But I’ll stand again, again, again.

No need to rush the end,

I’ve got time to mend.

These slow roads, they carry me,

Through the pain and mystery,

Life’s not a race, it’s a song,

And I’ve been singing all along.
