The Pace..

This fast pace..we call life..we just run..don’t think twice..
We keep going..going, to the end..let’s slow down..drop back, my friend..
With each other..at our side..we hold tight..stay alive..
Working, working..as we go..to have shelter..eat, it’s so..

This is life..it is you..us together..it’s so true..
Staying together..with one’s you love..at this day..its hard I say..
Life, along the road we share..so many turns..that we bear..
In and out..fast and slow..how we change..that I know..

It’s you there..I am here..waiting you..something new..
Come together..like we do..it’s the times..it shows, it’s true..
It’s the world..we live now..at a pace..that is wow..
Do you stop..take a breath..or keep going..not over yet..

This we do..stay in the groove..wanting more..it’s in the news..
Telling us..all the new..plain and simple..it’s always blue..
Holding on, to what we share..what is that..its only air..
Just stay fair..that we do..looking at you..is that you..

This fast pace..we live in..do your thing..take a ring..
Wait a minute..for that ride..when you do..stay alive..
Take a breath..long and slow..just keep moving..that I know..
In the now..at this place..make it right..show a face..

A concern..we all have..will it last..just be glad..
You are here..in the race..don’t let up..keep the pace..
Live the race..that we do..keep that fix..with the mix..
Keep it going..always showing..what you did..be the kid..

That at heart..how you do..do what you like..all that too..
At this pace..that we live..don’t forget..to always give..
Take a second..minute to..maybe a hour..whatever, do..
All you can..here and how..what your pace..anyhow..

At the end..we sit and spend..watching you..young again..
At your pace..in the race..what’s your place..is the case..
How life changes..all the time..hang on tight..not always kind..
But just do..like you do..live the now..like you know how..

Everyday..it’s this way..suck it up..be fine, OK..
Do the things..you like to do..it’s a pace..to follow through..
This is life..who you are..just keep going..to the stars..
Remember one thing..let it ring..it’s your pace..sets, how you swing..
