Get a Life

The flower at your feet was alive until you stepped on it But you were in a rush on your way to nowhere Now when you find yourself looking back on all the paths you've been There will be no flower there The robin in the sky sang a sweet song 'til you tuned it out But you were occupied getting busy in your head Now when you find yourself looking for something to sing about You'll open up your mouth with no melody to lend Slow down If you look where you're going, you might Get a life full with every bite But when your body aches, it's a language you're too scared to learn 'Cause if you understand, you might have to compromise But there will come a day when you can't ignore how much it hurts No choice but to return to that spot behind your eyes Where you, you'll recognize that you have found a home And you can bring it anywhere Slow down If you look where you're going, you might Get a life full with every bite
