Stop, take a minute

from Scrapbook by rosie nimmo

about

this is my song about how we all live such highly pressured lives and how it would be great to just stop, take a minute, to re-engage with what matters.

lyrics

Hustle and bustle, wheelin’ and dealin’
Gonna leave us no time for just being
Hustle and bustle, wheeling and dealing
Gonna leave us no time for real feeling


You gotta stop, take a minute to smell the flowers
Stop, take a minute, could last for hours
Stop, take a minute in your busy life
You’d better stop, take a minute to watch the grass grow
Take a minute, it grows so slow
Stop and take a minute, it might just save your life.

Always wanting, often getting
Never satisfied, fussing and fretting
Always wanting, usually getting
Time in the minute, less time regretting

Chorus
