Stop To Smell The Roses - Grace Wong 05

A song I written in 2005 about life, about how I find myself always rush about trying to be who I want to be but not really enjoying the journey it takes to be that person.

This is the music video I did for an assignment in 2005. It's my 1st recording ever so please let me know what you think, and if you are interested to hear more of my newer songs! Thanks for stopping by=)

Title: Stop to Smell the Roses
By: Grace Wong

Verse 1:
One day, while I was walking down the street
I thought to my self what the meaning of these all
Rushing here, rushing there, rushing everywhere
When I have all the time in this world

Chorus:
I should stop to smell the roses
I should appreciate what nature has to offer
I should stand still for just a moment
And listen to what life has to say

Verse 2:
Sometimes, when I'm walking by myself
I wonder if there's more to live
Striving then, striving now, striving all the time
Or is there something greater after this life?

Hi Grace, this is brilliant! You are so talented and truly gifted to be able to create the video clip to go with the song that you wrote and sang.

I listened to some of your other stuff as well and really enjoyed. Keep up the good work!
