Lyrics

[Verse 1]

It was something I believed in

Ain't no rest until the bank account's peaking

They say the city never sleeps in

But living busy isn't giving you your worth

Slowing down is fighting back

The time you take is given back

Shifting gears is saving gas

[Verse 2]

Hiding in the quiet is a world of wisdom

Slow it down and see it

[Verse 3]

Rest is a secret

I start to believe in

[Verse 4]

This city's built on blood and muscle

Skyscrapers help up by philosophy of hustling

But Saturday is my cathedral

A day to stop and rest is holding up the steeple

This might be news for all the people

Living busy isn't giving you your worth

[Verse 5]

Slowing down is fighting back

Hiding in the quiet is a world of wisdom

Calling on the voice so you could finally listen

[Verse 6]

Rest is a secret

I start to believe in

Stopping the motion to process the moment

What if we stopped just to process?

[Verse 7]

Can I take a minute, maybe a breath to breathe?

Can I take a second? I'm craving clarity

So lost in the thought of what one day I could be

That I forgot to take some time to make a richer me

I searched around to find myself a mental cure

I took a break, that's probably what I was looking for

What once was lost has finally got me reassured

[Verse 8]

Leaving room for greater paths

Letting go and kicking back

Reading books and taking baths

Slowing down is

[Verse 9]

Rest is a secret

I start to believe in

Stopping the motion to process the moment

What if we stopped just to, woo
