The flower at your feet was alive until you stepped on it
But you were in a rush on your way to nowhere
Now when you find yourself looking back on all the paths you’ve been
There will be no flower there
The robin in the sky sang a sweet song till you tuned it out
But you were occupied getting busy in your head
Now when you find yourself looking for something to sing about
You’ll open up your mouth with no melody to lend
Slow down
If you look where you’re going you might
Get a life
Full with every bite
The way your body aches is a language you’re too scared to learn
‘Cause if you understand, you might have to compromise
But there will come a day when you can’t ignore how much it hurts
No choice but to return
To that spot behind your eyes
Where you’ll recognize
That you have found a home
And you can bring it anywhere
Slow down
If you look where you’re going you might
Get a life
Full with every bite
