Slow Down - Shirley Caesar

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
