Текст песни: The Pursuit of Happiness: 1st Movement + перевод

In the heat of another busy day he said

«What on earth am I doing here anyway?

I’ve spent all my attention on the world and its distractions

I’ve no time for reflection

No, I just go, go, go

It’s just go, go, go.»

In the heat of a conversation it was said

«I've got all these good intentions

I just don’t have the time.»

We all wish for more

And more hours in a day

But I think it’s safe to say

We just need to breathe and slow down

Slow down, slow down

Slow down and ask yourself right now

Slow down, you’re falling asleep in traffic

Slow down, you’re losing your soul

Slow down, where are you taking yourself now?

I just wanna be happy

But I can’t quench my thirst

I’m always missing something

Maybe I just need more

Or maybe I should just breathe and slow down

Slow down, slow down

Slow down and ask yourself right now

Slow down, you’re falling asleep in traffic

Slow down, you’re losing your soul

Slow down, where are you taking yourself now?

When I fall asleep I dream of happiness

In numbers and dollar signs

And when I awake, it’s only one prize away

I’ve never known anything else

Slow down, slow down

Slow down, where are you taking yourself now?
