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 likes 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.
[Cho:]
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 out to wait for the bus,
Folks 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 tumbling and the wrestling begins,
And he usually wins, he usually wins!
[Cho:]
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, Lord, but he's right on time
