Take it easy baby, take the time to relax
Take it easy baby, take the time to relax your mind
I know you've been stressed out, work your hard hands to the bone
And I know you felt left out, by a life that leaves you alone
At times there seems no end, we sleep and we work again
But we cant enjoy the climb if we're too busy looking
At the top of the mountain
Take it easy baby, take the time to relax
Take it easy baby, take the time to relax your mind
In life we look to a place, try 'n try to get ahead
All the while time we can't trace, responsibility is like lead
And I seen many people laughing, then again I seen many unhappy
If you don't like the way you're livin', make a change
And make it right now
Take it easy baby, take the time to relax
Take it easy baby, take the time to relax your mind
I've been down in the mire tied up tight in telephone wire
I've been uninspired, full on fire with no desire
All of us are one in the same, we only have ourselves to blame
For the time we spend in chains, for the time we break free again
The stress of life is worse than a bullet, it'll kill ya nice and slow
The more I see the more I know, there's so many things we
Oughta' just let go
There's so much that I've forgotten, runnin' round like the devil's toy
And there's so much I want to remember
Summertime laughter and childhood joy
Take it easy baby, take the time to relax
Take it easy baby, take the time to relax your mind
I've seen grown men fighting like children
Their egos precious and easily pushed
I seen grown men in silly competitions
Their life revolves around being first
But I don't care for competition
I don't care to be number one
Number one is just a number
I just want peace when the day is done
Take it easy baby, take the time to relax
Take it easy baby, take the time to relax your mind
