After a great story telling therapy workshop, I was inspired to write this song to communicate the insights from such profound realisations. Ancient stories hold so much truths about our lives and have been passed down for countless generations for a good reason. To receive these stories from good story tellers like our good friend Melissa Min - from Circa Storytelling Events based in Perth Australia 

The core insight was how truth is found only amongst the lies - which is why we need to lean in to look closely at the lies - makes sense, right? But we have to slow down to start that process and hence the track. I hope you like it. 

Slow It Down Lyrics 

Rushing, rushing 
Where is the truth?
Fighting, dividing 
Sinking, drowning
Stillness beginning
Now the unraveling

Where is the truth? 
The last place we look 
Hiding in the pain 
It’s an open book 
Of insights galore 
To help us be sure 
What it takes
To get back to great

Sitting in knowing 
That we do know 
Sitting in the patience 
To let it show
Siting in self-love 
To allow it 
Sitting in the pain 
To move past it

Slow it down 
(Slow it down) 
So much to be found
Between the lies 
Is where truth resides
Slow it down 
(Slow it down) 
So much to be found
Ending the lies 
Takes us high

Truth only hurts 
While lies persist 
Lies posing as truth 
So we wrongly resist 
Birthing the divine 
Takes the grace to surrender 
Allowing for the joy 
To finally re-enter

Sitting in knowing 
That we do know 
Sitting in the patience 
To let it show
Siting in self-love 
To allow it 
Sitting in the pain 
To move past it

Slow it down 
(Slow it down) 
So much to be found
Between the lies 
Is where truth resides
Slow it down 
(Slow it down) 
So much to be found
Ending the lies 
Takes us high

We fight the self 
Struggle within 
Bend out of shape
So we cannot win 
While the real us 
Is buried in the fake 
For goodness sake 
What will it take?

How long did I have to fight 
To sink more into darkness 
Away from the light?
All along I was fighting myself 
Acting all knowing 
Refusing the learning 
Feeding the extremes 
Until it killed my dreams

Sitting in knowing 
That we do know 
Sitting in the patience 
To let it show
Siting in self-love 
To allow it 
Sitting in the pain 
To heal beyond it

Slow it down 
(Slow it down) 
So much to be found
Exposing the lies 
Restoring our sight
Slow it down 
(Slow it down) 
So much to be found
That ends the lies 
Launching us high

Exposing the lies 
Restoring our sight

Slow it down 
(Slow it down) 
So much to be found
That ends the lies
Launching us high 
Slow it down 
(Slow it down) 
So much to be found
That ends the lies 
Launching us high
Slow it down
