Slow Down Charlie...

Drink some hope,

And take your time,

Smile back at life,

Even if all it gives you,

Is a lime

Just think,

Rethink

Reinvent

Rejoice

Walk down that street,

Pretending you’ve got no choice

And if the going gets tough,

Just slow down Charlie

Take a beating in the rain,

Celebrate with the pain,

Just lose everything,

World will be yours to gain

Meet Illusions,

Confusions,

Temptations,

Depression

And that feeling of elation,

Put yourself in every situation

And if the going gets tough

Just slow down Charlie                                                     

Take a break from the words,

And follow the birds,

Just make your own roads,

Don’t follow the herds

See the world,

See how strange it looks,

It feels,

Conceals,

Secrets unknown,

Some they’ve thrown,

Some you’ll pick,

Let the clock tick,

It doesn’t matter anymore,

You don’t know what’s in the store,

Just close your eyes and fly,

Just close your eyes and be a star in the sky,

And if the going gets tough

Just slow down Charlie

Slow down for yourself,

Slow down for your dreams,

Read those eyes a bit more,

In the mirror,

See your thoughts becoming,

Clearer,

Destiny,

Don’t fear her,

Smear her,

With your will,

Stay still, move, groove

Now go live your dreams,

Don’t give heed to those screams

And remember,

If the going gets tough this year,

We’ll just slow down Charlie boy…
