Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Taking time to slow down
I was lost won’t say I’m found
But I know left from right
Up from down
Take in all that surrounds me now
Taking time to make things right
Sometimes got to sacrifice
It’s okay cus I know in time
There’s always day after night
