Slow Down World Lyrics - Donovan

Slow down world 

Major problem ahead, 

You have been on the go 

For a long, long time I know. 

Take a rest from the race, 

Why chase it? 

Slow down world, 

Take a tip from old times. 

You've seen how greed 

Consumes you with its need. 

Take a rest from the race 

Why chase it? 

Happy is the man 

Who rests when he can, 

Let old man time's sand 

Slip through his hand. 

And happy is the gal 

Who calls peace her pal. 

If you want to be free, 

You shall, you shall. 

Slow down world, 

Take a break for God's sake. 

(Slow down) 

You just can't stop your climb 

Your money-mad climb up to the top, 

Don't you just glance at the chance, 

Why waste it? 

Don't chase it, 

Why waste it? 

Happy is the man 

Who rests when he can, 

Let old man time's sand 

Slip through his hand. 

And happy is the gal 

Who calls peace her pal. 

If you want to be free, 

You shall, you shall. 

Slow down world, 

Slow down world, 

Slow down world, 

Slow down world,
