he may be slow

oh

i have a little brother named jim

sometimes i get a little worried about him

jim's about the nicest kid i know but jim is slow

he loves to follow me wherever i go

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
