[one bar intro] [male] [Verse] I've seen the world change, from a slower pace To a whirlwind of progress, with a new interface I remember when love letters were written by hand on paper That you hoped no one else would find and read later [female] [Verse] In my younger years, we'd sit and talk for hours Sharing stories and dreams, tending neighborhood flowers We'd laugh and cry together, through life's joys and fears And our bonds would grow stronger, through all of our tears [male and female harmony] [Chorus] In a world of instant gratification, we're losing our way Searching for meaningful connections, in a digital gray We're craving connection, while settling for less In the endless pursuit, of a fleeting success [male] [Verse] I've seen the rise of technology, and the fall of our youth Their eyes glued to a screen, their hearts losing truth I've watched as community, gave way to isolation And the art of conversation, became a lost sensation [female] [Verse] Now I see the world through my grandchildren's eyes They anticipate the ding of their instant replies They seem to be looking for something to feel A connection to others, a sense of love that is real [male and female harmony] [Outro] In a world of instant gratification, we're losing our way Searching for meaningful connections, in a digital gray We're craving connection, while settling for less In the endless pursuit, of a fleeting success [End]
