In the dusk under Tennessee skies
I watched my children chase fireflies
But time grew short, I said, "We've got to go."
My youngest asked me "why?"
I said, "Son, I don't know. I don't know."

In the grown up world, we haven't got time to chase fireflies
In the grown up world, 
Seems we're all chasing that same illusive prize
In this grown up world, we're much too busy to be still and know
In the grown up world,
We're just too beaten down to let our love grow

Under the shade of the walnut trees
My children played and counted honey bees
Then they stopped to watch the clouds go by
"That one looks like a turtle swimming across the sky"
Across the sky

But in the grown up world, got no time to watch clouds roll by
In the grown up world, 
We're swimming upstream, can't really say why
In this grown up world, seems time just marches on and on
In the grown up world, makes me wonder where did we go wrong?

When was the last time you enjoyed the view?
Watched your children play a game or two?
Do we really have more important things to do?
Than to stop and say, "Honey I love you. I love you."

In the grown up world, we've got to stop and smell the flowers
In this grown up world, let's count the joys, let's not count the hours
In this grown up world, we need to be still, be still and know
In this grown up world, that our Father, He loves His children so
In this grown up world, let's be still, be still and know
In this grown up world, that our Father, He loves His children so
