Emphasizing the need to proceed cautiously or deliberately.
You're on a road that you don't know

And the floor is getting kind of greasy
Suggesting a challenging or slippery situation.
Please walk don't run

Don't run

Please be patient and never fear
Encouraging patience and dispelling fear of the unknown.
Around the corner it's waiting
Hinting at positive developments around the corner.
