Lyrics Tom Paxton – He May Be Slow

He thinks there’s nothing in the world that I don’t know
He doesn’t smile like the other kids do
But the love shines through
The love shines through
He may be slow, but he’s still in motion
He’s got his own road; his own hill to climb
All he needs is a little devotion
He may be slow Lord, but he’s right on time
When I take him down to wait for the bus
Those who know us have a smile for us
I zip his jacket and I straighten his hat
And he likes that
When they bring him back home around three
I can tell he’s been looking for me
Then the wrestling and the tumbling begins
And he usually wins, he usually wins
He may be slow, but he’s still in motion
He’s got his own road; his own hill to climb
All he needs is a little devotion
He may be slow Lord, but he’s right on time
He may be slow, but he’s still in motion
He’s got his own road; his own hill to climb
All he needs is a little devotion
He may be slow Lord, but he’s right on time
