Don't Slow Down

You might believe, and still you feel
The chase has just begun
That you must reach that horizon before
The setting of the sun.
You chase the light in front of you
Nightfall close behind
If you stop to catch your breath
You know what you will find.
()
Don't slow down don't touch the ground
You know what you will find
That old grey man in tattered clothes
Following behind.
No time to stop, don't go to sleep
Prepare to pay the cost.
The hours and minutes are passing by
Another day is lost.
Impatience is a virtue
Catch me if you can.
The seconds have been ticking by
Since your life began.
