El Caracol

[Verse]
Slow little traveler
On a path unwound
Carrying a house
Ain't no need to rush around
Leaves rustle softly
As you make your way
Underneath the moonlight
In the cool of day
[Verse 2]
Raindrops fall gentle
On your spiral shell
Ancient wanderer
With stories to tell
Through the morning dew
In rising sun's embrace
You leave a silver trail
A secret little trace
[Chorus]
Oh
El caracol
Moving slow and free
Taking life slow
Beneath the old oak tree
Teach us all your wisdom
In the quiet dust
Time is but a whisper
In your trust
[Verse 3]
Seen the passing seasons
Through your gentle pace
Flowers bloom and wither
In a sacred space
You hold your memories
In that coiled womb
Sharing silent tales
From ignorance to bloom
[Verse 4]
Children gaze in wonder
At your patient crawl
A lesson in the waiting
In no hurry at all
Rustic and grounded
Bound to earthen kin
A journey everlasting
Where time begins
[Chorus]
Oh
El caracol
Moving slow and free
Taking life slow
Beneath the old oak tree
Teach us all your wisdom
In the quiet dust
Time is but a whisper
In your trust
