Lyrics
[Verse 1]
In a world of haste, a turtle takes his stride,
Fearing life might pass if he doesn't ride,
Fast along the path, never slowing down,
He's chasing time, in the hustle of the town.
[Chorus]
Speeding through the days, never stopping to see,
The beauty in the moments, the joy in being free.
But oh, little turtle, where does your rush lead?
In the blur of speed, you might miss what you need.
[Verse 2]
A rabbit on the side, watches with concern,
"Slow down, my friend, there's so much to learn,"
But the turtle, undeterred, races on his way,
Unheeding of the wisdom, in his haste to seize the day.
[Chorus]
Speeding through the days, never stopping to see,
The beauty in the moments, the joy in being free.
But oh, little turtle, where does your rush lead?
In the blur of speed, you might miss what you need.
[Bridge]
Days turn to nights, and nights to days,
Yet the turtle's pace never sways.
Blinded by fear, he misses the chance,
To savor each moment, to join life's dance.
[Verse 3]
Now an elder tortoise, with wisdom deep and wide,
Speaks to the frantic turtle, with a voice so tried.
"Life's not a sprint, my child, but a leisurely stroll,
Where the beauty lies in the journey, not the goal."
[Chorus]
Speeding through the days, never stopping to see,
The beauty in the moments, the joy in being free.
But oh, little turtle, your haste was your plight,
In the end, you missed life's most precious light.
[Final Verse:]
Alone in his speed, with no one by his side,
The turtle realizes, with a heavy heart's stride.
That in his rush to live, he forgot to truly be,
And now, in solitude, he faces eternity.
[Final Chorus:]
Speeding through the days, never stopping to see,
The beauty in the moments, the joy in being free.
But oh, little turtle, your haste was your plight,
In the end, you missed life's most precious light.
[end]
