From the recording Stone & Fire
Chappell's rumination on are we moving so fast we don't have time to slow to smile with one another.
Lyrics
Slow To Smile
Cars crowd the streets in town, people rush their feet around in speed.
Boutiques full of “way out” clothes
And catalogues that only show our greed.
Is this what we need?
I ask:
Will you slow to smile with me, it is one thing that is free.
Can we still feel for each other?
Reach out and touch reality.
Dried flowers on window sills,
And crystal prism rainbows fill the room.
Color in a pure light form,
Refracted to a spectrum warm and new,
I’ll share this with you.
You ask:
Will I slow to smile with you?
It is one thing we can do.
Can we still feel for each other?
Reach out and touch reality.
Religions of every kind,
All designed to help us find “The Way.”
Searching for The Truth in beds of righteousness,
Like statues made of clay.
Can this be the way?
We ask:
Will you slow to smile with us
It is something that we must.
Can we still feel for each other?
Reach out and touch reality...
