lyrics

Slow Motion Life


Got a kind of nostalgia,
for a time when the days were long
The trees were tall, the sky was blue
And the health was always strong
Those days are gone now and so the trees,
I feel so tired and the sky is grey
And the time flies faster and faster
With each passing day

I want to hear the mooing of cows
Instead if the beeping of the cars,
I want to hear the quacking of the ducks
Instead of the roaring of the trucks,

I want to live a kind of life,
Without stress, without strife,
A country life, a christian life,
Contendent life, Slow Motion Life

I've read a story of a man,
Who sat beneath the shady tree
He sat for days, he sat for nights
And then enlightenment came to him
I often feel just like that man
His name was Buddha by the way
Gonna sit right under some shady tree
Try not to move much anyway

I want to see the roses in my garden,
Instead of a bureaucratic warden
I want to see the fishes in my pond
Instead of a corporate bond

I want to live a kind of life,
Without stress, without strife
A country life, a Buddha's life
An ideal life, Slow Motion Life

I'm looking at the sea of lights,
Looks like they're lit from single candle,
Some lights are dim, some lights are bright
And some of them have wooden handle

Where are you hurrying to? Slow down your pace
Are you bound to win in the human race?
Take a look around, it's too much strife,
Too much poison in this fast food life,

I want to hear the mooing of cows
Instead of the beeping of the cars,
I want to hear the quacking of the ducks
Instead of the roaring of the trucks
I want to live a kind of life, w
Without stress, without strife,
A country life, a quiet life,
Slow Motion Life is a happy life

Slow motion life
