LOOK AROUND YOU

NEVER CLOSE YOUR MIND

JUST BLINK FOR A MOMENT

ABSORB YOUR PERIPHERY

WHILE EVERYTHING IS CONSTANTLY CHANGING

YET WE ARE FROZEN

LOOK THE DISTANCE

SOMETHINGS YOU CAN NOT SEE

BUT BEWARE

LOOK ADJACENT

AS SOMEONE STANDS AKIMBO

AS THE BODY HAIR BEGINS TO STAND

FEELING THE HELPLESSNESS

STILL ALL ARE AIRING

WE FEEL THE SOFT BREEZE

WE SMELL THE LOFTY FLOWERS AND TREES

WE HEAR VAUGE SOUNDS OF BIRDS

SOUNDS WE ONCE LONG AGO HEARD LOUD

NOW WE HEAR THE MACHINES

AS THEY ROAM ABOUT

EVERY WAY OR DIRECTION YOU GO

OUR REAL LIFE HAS CHANGED

ALMOST PICTURE PERFECT

WE ONCE TOUCHED EACH OTHER

AGAIN LIFE HAS CHANGED

THE ONCE AMERICAN DREAM

MUST HAVE PAST YOU BY

FOR THE GREED OF THE ALMIGHTY DOLLAR

 HAS THE GREEDY WATCHING US STRUGGLE

STILL ONE THING STILL ALIVE

THE TOUCHING

CREATER OF LIVES

CREATER OF A FUTURE

ANOTHER CHANGING

ALTHOUGH THE MACHINES WILL ALWAYS ROAM

WE WILL LEARN

AS THE SOUND BRINGS US TO KNEES

 AS WE BECOME LESS ENDOWED

 ANOTHER DAY CLOSER
