Slow Down

(album: First Lady - 1977)

Why can't we seek true love and true peace?
Slow down
Why do we hate and discriminate?
We've gotta slow down

When will we finally see true love is the key
To love, peace and joy divine
We've been moving too fast
We're headed for a crash
Brother, slow down

Mothers against daughters
Fathers against their sons
You've got to slow down
Another thing: We've got to try to all live as one
Slow down

By the time we find hate has destroyed our mind
It might be too late
So hear what I say
God's love is the only way
Slow down

By the time we see true love is the key
To love, peace and joy divine
We're moving too fast
We're headed for a crash
Brother, come on and slow down

Can I tell you something else
Why can't we see true love between you and me
You gotta slow down
Let me tell you what the bible said
The bible said "Seek and ye shall find true love and peace of mind"
Slow down
Let me tell you something, young man
You're moving too fast
And you're headed for a crash
Brother, slow down
Tell your sister to slow down
You're moving too fast
You're headed for a crash
Listen church members
You gotta slow down
Listen young woman
You gotta take your time
Slow down
You're living too fast
You're headed for a crash
You're in too big of a hurry
Slow down
