No Time to Slow Down

A ship at sea, a candle in the wind
A lost forgotten piece, never knowing when
A refuge will be found, shelter from the storm
Always pushing further, always being born
Is there no end on this merry go round
Keep pushing on, no time to slow down
Stuck in the wheels of progress always going
Breaking things up, defining ideas and slogans
Tendencies following invisible inspections
Always escaping in unknown directions
Answers no matter, nothing can be bound
Keep pushing on, no time to slow down
Savings running out, only so much to last
For even in dreaming, needs capital too fast
No time for learning, education on the go
Too many distractions, always need to know
Breathing fresh air from a new port in town
Keep pushing on, no time to slow down
Sun going down, another pot of coffee
Staying up forever, an idea in the making
Wishful thinking, impossible to ignore
Other dimensions, not able to explore
Maybe someday, will start to hear the sound
Keep pushing on, no time to slow down
