HERE WE LEAVE THE RUSHING
Hush now, rest your mind for awhile
here we leave the rushing
to the city life's
traffic
Close to me, my baby, grow strong
here we leave the rushing
to the rivers
and streams
Take time, my child, for life is short
so just leave the rushing
of growing old
to me
please child, slow, your growing fast,
now you are the rushing
wind at you feet
leaving
Grown, becoming a parent too
come back to where we still
leave the rushing
behind
Now you understand, your child grows,
and you leave the rushing
to the city life's
traffic
Hoping for a slowing of life
where we leave the rushing
to the rivers
and streams
