We're lonely in the crowd around us Eyes drawn to our devices Drowning in digital noise We talk without conversation Listen but don't pay attention Forgetting how to use our voice We're standing on the edge of a world Where the future comes far too soon We can't forget to simplify Or we'll lose the meaning in our lives Telegraph, then telephone Airmail then radio We shrank the globe But put so much space between us We travel the world so easily Expand ourselves intellectually But never learn how to love and trust We're standing on the edge of a world Where the future comes far too soon We can't forget to simplify Or we'll lose the meaning in our lives Socially Disconnected This will ruin us all Ignorant and so ironic We run towards our fall We're standing on the edge of a world Where the future comes far too soon We can't forget to simplify Or we'll lose the meaning in our lives
