Godspeed, a song

Slow down you, move too fast

You’ve got eternity 

Stretching out before you

Don’t miss this too, 

Before this too has past

Just take a breath, and take my hand, 

We’ll get there soon

At God speed—

The future unfolds so slowly

At God speed—

The past it lingers long

At God speed—

A thousand years exploding

At God speed—

Like the quaver in a song

Where a heartbeat lasts forever 

And forever lasts a day

And we sit there lost in wonder 

Till there’s nothing left to say

And there’s no one in a hurry 

'cause right now is all we need

And we stroll into the distance 

Till we’re moving away at God speed

Slow down you miss too much

You’re like a tourist snapping 

Selfies of heaven

There’s so much more 

Than we can see or touch

So hold your breath, and hold my hand, 

We’ll get there soon

At God speed—

The future unfolds so slowly

At God speed—

The past it lingers long

At God speed—

A thousand years exploding

At God speed—

Like the quaver in a song

Where a heartbeat lasts forever 

And forever lasts a day

And we sit there lost in wonder 

Till there’s nothing left to say

And there’s no one in a hurry 

'cause right now is all we need

And we stroll into the distance 

Till we’re moving away at God speed
