Lyrics

"Getting Lost"
(Lyrics - C. Webster - Music - M. Novak)


A growing child needs unknown explorations
No limits or rules and no expectations
Sense of self is developed and acquired
The mind needs this to be fully attired

Getting lost illuminates the scene around you
Demands that you see, not look through
Draws the minds attention to above and below
Focuses the senses beyond what you know

CHORUS:
Getting lost - Its good for the mind
Getting lost - Needed by our kind
Getting lost - Go and explore
Getting lost - Get out of the door

We need to be grounded and deeply connected
Not social media, with its fear of being rejected
Sense of self needs meaning and intention
Not what you get when you’re not paying attention

The mind creates the world in time and space
Not from a screen that is always fast paced
We use thinking as a palace to store memories
With rooms and places that create the directory

CHORUS:

Our media now teaches fear as entertainment
People see the outside world with no engagement
Kids no longer seen exploring and playing
Freedom of movement now seen as predators preying

A lone child outside, could be seen as a criminal
Our paranoia now buried subliminal
The toll it is taking is now rearing its head
When the GPS fails all are filled with dread

CHORUS:
