We live in a fast-paced beat,
In this modern life, I'm feeling beat.
An intense chase for happiness,
Overloaded, I lose the truth's address.

In the rhythm of routine, rest's just a mirage,
Truths and lies blur, only time's barrage.
Where are we headed, no one can say,
On this straight road, don't know where to stray.

Where are we headed if we can't slow down?
Running thoughtlessly, just to avoid the frown.
We want what we don’t have, not seeing what's near,
Time keeps slipping, and life’s demands are clear.

Time flies and we’re left behind,
In this crazy race, what do we find?
Dreams get lost along the way,
What really matters? Am I alone today?

Running in circles, unsure of the aim,
Happiness seems so hard to claim.
On this path, silence is rare to find,
The soul seeks calm, but reality's unkind.

Where are we headed if we can't slow down?
Running thoughtlessly, just to avoid the frown.
We want what we don’t have, not seeing what's near,
Time keeps slipping, and life’s demands are clear.

Maybe if I stopped for just a while,
Took a deep breath and saw the world’s style.
I’d find that peace is in slowing the pace,
And living in the now, not just a race.

Where are we headed if we can't slow down?
Running thoughtlessly, just to avoid the frown.
We want what we don’t have, not seeing what's near,
Time keeps slipping, and life’s demands are clear.

If I could, I’d learn to slow my way,
See that the present’s where I should stay...
But I keep on running, not knowing where to stray.
