Lyrics:
I drive mild and slow
Decide where you want me to go
If I’m you and you are me
Reflect on my brave thought
We make up a small portion of all existence
Right beside planets in the distance
And stars the reflections of our bodies
Is gas and dust, explosions of great energy
So take it slow, take it slow
We have so much time
Remember though
We have to take care of one another and
Spread the love
I see your pain I’ve walked your road
The weight is such a heavy load
And out your door the world still spins
There’s no starting over again
Just because you didn’t choose this reality
Doesn’t mean that you can’t win
And just because you’re not fast enough
Doesn’t mean you don’t fit in
If you start listening to yourself inside,
Your intuition has been
Through the gates of hell and knows damn well
You’re strong enough for this
P.S. thanks John the security man for not kicking us out
