Текст Richard Hawley – The World Looks Down

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

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.
