I've been half asleep
Half-hearted, half empty
Been running the race with both feet
But then darkness came and shook all the trees
What do I believe
I yelled through the quiet
Ooh
Slow down, slow down
There's a rebel in the woodpile and he's burning it down
Slow down
Spent my night in a room by the sea
You need not earn your keep
It's been paid in full already
Just rest a while
When it's your time to leave
Take what you need to love the earth fully
Slow down slow down
There's a rebel in the woodpile and he's burning it down
Slow down
There's a stranger in the garden and he's calling you now
To slow down
Break my stride, make my step
Let my blood till there's nothing left
More hopeful now than I was back then
Replace my thoughts with the words you said
Rip down the walls, let the sunlight in
Let's be whole again, let's be whole again
