Pat Barrett's 'Slow and Steady' is a reflective Christian song about persevering through life's pressures and transitions. The lyrics capture the tension between wanting to change the world while being changed by it, and the quiet struggle of moving forward even when unprepared. The repeated refrain 'Slow and steady, we won't let go it's heavy' emphasizes endurance and trust in God's guidance through difficult seasons. The song acknowledges grief in leaving behind familiar things but finds hope in the journey ahead, encouraging listeners to keep going with faith and steadiness.
Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
Been feeling all the pressure lately
Holding it just drives me crazy
Out here trying to change the world
But the world keeps changing me
Changing me
You called me from the bedroom crying
Said I was fine but I was lying
You didn't say a word
But I could hear you loud and clear
Loud and clear
Slow and steady
We won't let go it's heavy
I know we don't feel ready
But on we go
Putting our whole life in boxes
Every piece is placed in silence
Joy in where we're going
But we're sad for what we leave
What we leave
Slow and steady
We won't let go it's heavy
I know we don't feel ready
But on we go
Slow and steady
We won't let go it's heavy
I know we don't feel ready
But on we go, but on we go
Slow and steady
We won't let go it's heavy
I know we don't feel ready
But on we go
