Erick Baker - Slow The World Down (Live at the Evening Muse, Charlotte, NC)

Details

Description

In a world that never stops moving, it’s easy to forget what really matters. We rush, we chase, we try to keep up...But what are we missing along the way?

This song is a reminder to slow down. To breathe. To savor the moment. Because life isn’t about the next thing, it’s about this one.

Here’s to pressing pause and to living in the now. Here's to slowing the world down.

Much Love,
Erick

Slow The World Down Lyrics:

Everybody’s in a hurry
Caught up in keeping up with things that don’t matter at all
Searching for shortcuts
To speed things up, as if life is not fast enough

What happened to the front porch
Passing the day with a wave to all the cars as they pass
Time stops for no one
We’ve all got one thing in common, and it's that we’re not growing young

So let’s unplug the clocks, not let another minute pass
Help me find a way to stop this life from moving so fast

Won’t you come and slow the world down
Slow the world down
Slow the world down with me

Don’t think about tomorrow
I make a toast to just enjoy the taste of today
'Cause life is such a short song
We’ve all got to dance to the beat of the second hand, slowly counting down

Let’s unplug the clocks, not let another minute pass
Help me find a way to stop this life from moving so fast

Won’t you come and slow the world down
Slow the world down
Slow the world down with me

I’ll take the quiet of the country or the sand of the beach
A place where telephone lines don’t reach
Far from the city lights that steal the stars from the night sky
And the high-rise shadows that block out the sunlight
Where the sand castle is safe cause the tide is always low
There’s always time, and it always runs slow
