lyrics

Slowly slowly catchy monkey
That's what my mother taught me
Have patience and understand
We can only do the best we can

I face trials and tribulations every day
But it's OK , I'm gonna find a way
To make it happen just the way I planned
I have patience and i understand
If I could make a difference to just one life
For the better I'd be happy in my grave
If I could open up just one troubled mind
To a new way of thinking I'd be winning this game
If I could lift somebody's spirit just for one minute
Never mind a day
If I could do just one of these things
I'd be well on my way

Slowly slowly catchy monkey
That's what my mother taught me
Have patience and understand
We can only do the best we can

If I could believe the words I write
Were for the purpose of good not for the purpose of rhyme
If I could inject a little bit of love
Into this broken world and make it smile
If I could express the way I feel
Maybe somebody could use that knowledge to help them heal
A little trouble that's been troubling them for so long
We all know the power of a song

Slowly slowly catchy monkey
That's what my mother taught me
Have patience and understand
We can only do the best we can

If we could make our idealistic
View of the world a reality
Instead of dreaming of the way it should be
While we're shouting at the TV
If we could all join together like we know we should
We could recycle all the terrible, turn it to good
We could rise together as one
I still like to believe that day will come

Slowly slowly catchy monkey
That's what my mother taught me
Have patience and understand
We can only do the best we can
