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'
