## Verse 1 Take time for all things, let wisdom be your guide Great haste makes great waste, don't let urgency decide Slow is smooth and smooth is fast, the warriors know well When you move with purpose, there's no need to yell Measure twice, cut once, before you make your mark Don't let your emotions lead you through the dark From impulse to intention, elevate your mind The clarity you're seeking, patience helps you find ## Chorus Don't rush, think what you do Every step you take should see you through Slow down, breathe it in True mastery lies where patience begins Don't rush, think what you do The deeper path starts with you ## Verse 2 When penalties follow from moving much too fast The speed that seemed urgent becomes the weight that lasts Anything worth doing deserves a slower pace Excellence takes time, don't fall from wisdom's grace Character's not built in just a week or day Little by little, that's the ancient way The precious and the lasting require their due care What endures forever needs a builder's prayer ## Chorus Don't rush, think what you do Every step you take should see you through Slow down, breathe it in True mastery lies where patience begins Don't rush, think what you do The deeper path starts with you ## Bridge At work move smooth with urgency and flow Bias toward action, but let your wisdom show At rest release control, let nature be your teacher Like water finding levels, be the gentle seeker Weigh the pros and cons, see from every side New roads may glitter, but old truth won't hide The grass across the fence may seem more green But hasty choices blind us to what lies between ## Verse 3 Consider the whole journey before you take first step Know the price of victory, the promises you've kept Steady application builds the strength within Consistent gentle effort is how the wise begin Like gold that's heavy, precious things cost more Foundation built for ages, not just what's in store The mind that contemplates finds the truest way While rushing hearts stumble at the break of day ## Final Chorus Don't rush, think what you do Every step you take should see you through Slow down, breathe it in True mastery lies where patience begins Don't rush, think what you do The deeper path starts with you Don't rush, think what you do Let ancient wisdom guide you through Take your time, but don't delay Act with purpose, find your way Don't rush, think what you do The master's path begins with you ## Outro *Slow and sure, early enough if well* *What's quickly done can quick come undone* *Let patience be your compass* *Let wisdom be your sun* *Don't rush, think what you do*
