We pave over yesterday
And think past today
Always want newer things
While forgetting old ways
Can't we just slow it down
And take a step back
To seek what we really want
Without fear of attack
Ooh, this hurried world we're living in
Is taking my dreams and making me feel terrified, saying that I'll compromise
I know that time won't freeze for me
So I'll make sure my plans don't leave without me
There's traffic in my mind
And it's getting me tongue-tied
As I lay here tonight
I'm trying to see the light inside me
Ooh, this hurried world we're living in
Is taking my dreams and making me feel terrified, saying that I'll compromise
I know that time won't freeze for me
So I'll make sure my plans don't leave without me
No one ever really seems to listen
Blaming other's lives for their suffering
It's all making me sigh
So I'll come home
Greeted by evergreens and family
Where comfortably loving
Is no strange, crazy thing
Ooh, this hurried world we're living in
Is taking my dreams and making me feel terrified, saying that I'll compromise
I know that time won't freeze for me
But now I know my plans won't leave without me
And I wouldn't change a thing
Oh no
