So last week I was cruising along the highway going super fast and then out of nowhere traffic came to a screeching halt. At first I was super annoyed by this and thought how could this be happening to me, I was going to be late to work. Finally settled into that there was nothing I could do about it. Then after 90 minutes of waiting I finally got moving and I had to pass the wreckage of the accident and I knew deep in my soul that the driver couldn't have survived it. This was very sobering. I was about 10 cars back from the site of impact, seconds away from this potentially being me.
So I thought I'd write a song about it. And here it goes. Can't wait to hear what you come up with. I'm open to anything.

@siebass: I heard a simple ditty from these lyrics with powerful chorus of slow down, so that's what I went with. As always, I hope you all enjoy it.

Lyrics: @musicbymichelle
Music: @siebass

V1:Trying to get back from where I was
Moving as fast as time would allow
When all at once out of nowhere
A sea of red brakes me to slow down

V2:
I sit and wait patiently at first
But then my patience slowly wears out
Don't they know I've got somewhere to be
Don't have the time to sit here right now

Chorus1:
Slow down, take your time enjoy the view
Slow down, take a breath, try something new
It may take a while longer to get down this narrow road
But in the end you know you'll be making it back home

V3:
Minutes turn to hours and I am stuck
With only my thoughts as company
Have to be okay with where I am
And give up where I thought I would be

Chorus1

Bridge:
I edge my way forward, make it to the other side
As I face the wreckage, I'm grateful to be alive
So I'll...

Chorus:
Slow down, take my time enjoy the view
Slow down, take a breath, try something new
It may take a while longer to get down this narrow road
But in the end I know I'll be making it back home

Slow Down (Collab)

The Storm

Lyrics: Andrea Brennan
Music and vocals: Nathan Gerry

V1
I fear the dark clouds
Hanging over my head
Thunder is booming
My sight turning red
Obscuring the path
To what lies, what lies ahead

V2
Press myself forward
The progress is slow
I stumble and fall
From bumps in the road
I turn a new corner
But there's still, a long way to go

Chorus 
You are the storm
That turns day to night
Inside the darkness
There is no light
You are the storm
I try to fight
I'm holding 
Holding on for dear life

Bridge
Rain washes over me
Cleansing my mind
I open my eyes
No longer blind

Chorus 
I am the storm
That turns day to night
Inside the darkness
There is no light
I am the storm
I need to fight
And I'm holding 
Holding on for my life
