Slow Down Lyrics - Voyage To India - India Arie

So far from where I started out 

So far from where I wanna be 

Listening for answers in the wind 

But can't find a rock to plant my feet 

Looking for love in all the wrong places 

Down on my knees and now I'm praying for patience 

I know there's gotta be a better way 

In the back of my mind I hear my momma say 

Slow down, Baby you're going too fast 

You got you hands in the air 

With you feet on the gas 

You're 'bout to wreck your future 

Running from your past 

You need to slow down before 

You go down baby

Thinking the faster that I go 

The faster (that) I will reach my goal 

The race is not given to the swift 

But to the one who endureth 

I thought that all my obstacles were behind me 

Walking around like I'm made out of diamond 

I tripped and fell and it remindedme 

Move over and let my angels guideme 

Slow down, Baby you're going too fast 

You got you hands in the air 

With you feet on the gas 

You're 'bout to wreck your future 

Running from your past 

You need to slow down before 

You go down baby

Sometimes you gotta be still 

Before you can get ahead 

Be still 

Ask the universe for help 

Be real 

You can't do it all by yourself 

Ah, no no 

Sometimes, sometimes you gotta be still 

It take some time to reach you and they 

Be still 

Take some time to clear your space 

Be real 

Chaos isn't good for your health 

Ah, no no, ahhh 

Cuz I'm breaking things and losing things 

I lost my cell phone again the other day 

Now, I don't wanna live this way, no 

In the back of my mind I hear my mama say 

Slow down, Baby you're going too fast 

You got you hands in the air 

With you feet on the gas 

You're 'bout to wreck your future 

Running from your past 

You need to slow down before 

You go down baby 

(Slow down baby) 

Slow down (baby) 

You're going too fast 

Slow down (baby) 

Feet on the gas 

Slow down (baby) 

Run from your past 

Slow down baby (4x)
