They say I’m slow, they shake their heads
But I’m still moving, step ahead
I set my pace, I own my time
I run this race, this road is mine
They told me, "Faster, beat the rest"
I tried to match their every step
I fell so hard, I lost my way
Kept chasing speeds I couldn't take
Now I know what’s right for me
This race was never meant to be
I’ll take my steps, my steady way
No need to rush, I’ll find my fate
I go slow, but I still know
This is my race, I choose the road
Not a fight, not a game
I just run where my heart stays
I go slow, but I still know
This is my race, I choose the road
Not a fight, not a game
I just run where my heart stays
They laughed and said, "You’ll fall behind"
But I don’t care, I own my time
The world moves fast, I take it slow
I'll cross the line when I say go
Some paths are theirs, this one is mine
No need to change, I walk just fine
They call me weak, I wear it proud
Each step I take, I say it loud
I go slow, but I still know
This is my race, I choose the road
Not a fight, not a game
I just run where my heart stays
I go slow, but I still know
This is my race, I choose the road
Not a fight, not a game
I just run where my heart stays
No more chasing, no more lies
I will rise in my own time
Every moment, every way
I will shine, I’ll find my place
I go slow, but I still know
This is my race, I choose the road
Not a fight, not a game
I just run where my heart stays
I go slow, but I’m still strong
This is my race, I’m moving on
No more doubt, no more shame
I will run in my own way
I go slow, but I still know
This is my race, I choose the road
Not a fight, not a game
I just run where my heart stays
