 - 8.10.10.9.8.8
Seek  out the light between
 Time and confusion glowing  up ahead
Instead  of slipping through
 You bit off more, much more  than you could chew
 You could not Swallow It
 No baby  you're not ready,  slow down
 And take  the time  to evolve
 You could not Swallow It
 No baby  you're not ready,  slow down
We  had a lot to learn
Table  manners and grace, how to wait your turn when
Time  came to clear your slate
 You had too much, had too  much on your plate
 You could not Swallow It
 No baby  you're not ready,  slow down
 And take  the time  to evolve
 You could not Swallow It
 No baby  you're not ready,  slow down
Take  your medicine and crawl  before you walk
Think  it through before you open  you open your mouth to talk
Be  an advocate of joy
Find  your little heart's desire  and
Follow it  no baby  you're not ready,  slow down
 And take  the time  to evolve
 You could not Swallow It
 No baby  you're not ready,  slow down
 You could not  Swallow  It
 No baby  you're not ready,  slow down
 And take  the time  to evolve
 You could not Swallow It
 No baby  you're not  ready, now
 Exitude
Don't be  afraid,  this is  your year
 It's gonna be  alright,  you're  a performer
 Just take  your time,  but not  too much time
