We were never made to sprint
This is not a rushed race
Who are you racing?
We were never made to sprint
It was always a pilgrimage
Who have you been racing?
Why the hurry, hurry
Hurry, hurry, hurry
Hurry, hurry
Who have you been racing?
I hear the Father say tonight

Who have you been racing?
Slow down
Slow down
There is room to smell the flowers
Along the way
Slow down
I wanna observe all the beauty
Along the way
Slow down
Slow down
Slow down
I never put you in a hurry
You did that to yourself
Slow down

I never needed you to hurry
Slow down
I never needed you to finish first
Slow down
You can take a breath now, baby
Slow down
Sing: We weren't made to sprint

We're not made to sprint
It's a pilgrimage
You won't let us lose heart
We're not made to sprint
It's a pilgrimage
You won't let us lose heart
We're not made to sprint
It's a pilgrimage
You won't let us lose heart
We're not made to sprint
It's a pilgrimage
You won't let us lose heart

Slow down
Slow down
Slow down
Slow down
