Song with No Name

I recall the winters and the summers beating on my door
The stars in constellation and the wind
Coming in through the roof
I recall the days and the nights my father said to me
He spoke of a better life
I was young and so I believed him
Well it wasn't too long before he was defeated
He left me all the questions
And the answers are blowing in the wind

Now I'm not half the man I used to be
But I'm twice the man I used to know
If there's ever one thing I could tell you
Slow down
Slow down

I don't hide from the truth that I know comes with everyday life
I've lost a thousand times but I've found a way for my survival
I haven't lived too long to go on about preaching
But I've faced the cold a thousand nights
That you best believe
Spending way too long trying to figure out where I'm headed
That I forgot to stop and touch the flowers and taste the rain

Now I'm not half the man I used to be
But I'm twice the man I used to know
If there's ever one thing I could tell you
Slow down
Slow down
Keep your mind where your heart is
And slow down
