Slow, yet mysteriously adorable
These majestic creatures of the sea
Swimming swiftly on the currents and waves
Hiding in a home that'll protect and save
I was slow, but I was waiting
I was swimming, yet I was drowning
How can we go anywhere?
When we're actually going nowhere
I was slow, yet didn't want to go last
Didn't want to be reckless, yet fast
For what's the use of being too swift?
When I can't have the perfect gift?
Slow, because I was waiting
Waiting, waiting for nothing
Forgive this turtle that's too slow for you
This turtle that for a hundredths of years has waited and loved you.
