Verse 1 The Wi-Fi died at half past ten, I rebooted it again and again. I checked the cables, said a prayer, But all I got was empty air. My phone just showed a loading wheel, I didn't know how to feel. I stared outside and thought, "Alas, I guess I'll go and touch some grass." Chorus I touched some grass today, The memes will have to wait. The birds have thirty thousand songs, And none of them spread hate. I touched some grass today, The sunshine knows my name. I can't believe I missed all this While staring at a screen all day. Verse 2 A gentle breeze went drifting by, Clouds were painting up the sky. I met a dog; he seemed impressed That I had finally left my nest. The flowers weren't on a screen, The trees were greener than I'd ever seen. The world has been moving soft and fast, While I was just sitting here on my ass. Chorus I touched some grass today, The memes will have to wait. The birds have thirty thousand songs, And none of them spread hate. I touched some grass today, The sunshine knows my name. I can't believe I missed all this While staring at a screen all day. Bridge The internet came back online. My messages were doing fine. But then I stopped and had to laugh— I'd only seen the world by half. Final Chorus I touched some grass today, And now I finally see, The world was carrying on just fine Without a post from me. The sunlight and the singing birds, The clouds that drift and slowly pass— Who knew I'd find a better mood The day I touched some grass?
