Go Outside and Play
The panoramic vision of my life
Does not come from paper nor screen
I chase the rainbows
I follow my dream
although I cannot catch them
I hold my head towards the sky
to capture this for my memory
To view it through my eyes
People are too distracted
With the imperfections of life
I think beautiful memories
Help to calm our strife
Caught up with possessions
An armchair that's never seen arms
surrounded by the living dead
When life has the greatest charms
I saw a small boy today
Who smiled and said to me
He was the happiest kid in town
Cause he had his own TV
I looked down at him
I smiled and I said
insecurity and inadequacy?
TVs gonna mess with your head
Beautiful blue skies, sun is shining
Today's the perfect day
to try to capture a memory
'You must go outside and play'
