the world looks down

Singer:hawley, richard

the true meaning of his sight asks the question of the boy

is there danger on my screen or is it just a toy?

another story of our age the new invention says

don't look up into the sky

look in your hands

the world looks down

the world looks down

how did we ever dream at night

before the screen took hold?

and where's the wisdom in our time that makes our children old?

you can stare off into space the new invention says

don't look up at the stars

look in your hands

the world looks down

the world looks down

the world looks down

the world looks down

another story without a face

the new invention says

don't look up into her eyes

look in your hands

the world looks down

the world looks down

the world looks down

the world looks down.
