Verse 2 To treasure it all, scroll out to see In gold, fire, wood, clay and water Your structure and flow, adagio to allegro With leaves to the tide In full moon, plum blossom, We salute to you
Chorus 2 Slow down From a thread of sky To the warp and weft of your being Dynamic and playful, opened my eyes yeah you’re pretty dammed great as you are
Friend of mine, could you go for progression not pace Unravel your marvels but don’t lose them all on the way

Chorus 3 Slow down From a thread of sky To the warp and weft of your being You’re beautiful graceful, like no other, pretty dammed good as you are
