Be Yourself and Love
|
LYRICS:
Nothing ventured, nothing gained, Here at the end of one more empty day; And tomorrow's always just the same: One more nothing on my resume. I can't keep up with never-ending lists of Stuff to do and folks to see, Time to use and things to be, oh Would you hurry up and slow down? You don't gotta change the world; You don't gotta be someone, Just gotta be yourself and love. My ambition's running wild, Here at the start of one more sleepless night; All the things I wish I'd tried, All these dreams to live before I die. I can't keep up with my own striving after Fantasies of epic deeds, Of great acclaim and living easy. Would you hurry up and slow down? You don't gotta change the world; You don't gotta be someone, Just gotta be yourself and love. Just gotta be yourself and Would you hurry up and slow down? You don't gotta change the world; You don't gotta be someone, Just gotta be yourself and love. Would you hurry up and slow down? You ain't gonna save the world; You don't gotta be someone, Just gotta be yourself and love. |
LINER NOTES: The world seems to be getting smaller with every new advance in technology. Everything is trying to go faster all the time, and there are always more experiences and information to cram into our tiny little heads. In such a world, where time and space are commodities, perhaps what we really need most urgently is to slow everything down for a moment and remember our deepest and most significant responsibility: to love our little portion of the world as only we can do.
