The Pursuit of Happiness: 1st Movement

In the heat of another busy day he said
«What on earth am I doing here anyway?
I’ve spent all my attention on the world and its distractions
I’ve no time for reflection
No, I just go, go, go
It’s just go, go, go.»
In the heat of a conversation it was said
«I've got all these good intentions
I just don’t have the time.»
We all wish for more
And more hours in a day
But I think it’s safe to say
We just need to breathe and slow down
Slow down, slow down
Slow down and ask yourself right now
Slow down, you’re falling asleep in traffic
Slow down, you’re losing your soul
Slow down, where are you taking yourself now?
I just wanna be happy
But I can’t quench my thirst
I’m always missing something
Maybe I just need more
Or maybe I should just breathe and slow down
Slow down, slow down
Slow down and ask yourself right now
Slow down, you’re falling asleep in traffic
Slow down, you’re losing your soul
Slow down, where are you taking yourself now?
When I fall asleep I dream of happiness
In numbers and dollar signs
And when I awake, it’s only one prize away
I’ve never known anything else
Slow down, slow down
Slow down, where are you taking yourself now?
