We're all guilty. My generation started it. We're drowning in our smartphones and technology with screens. This song was unfortunately inspired by my teen daughter's generation that often disconnectsLyrics to "Missing the World":

VERSE 1
Glowing lights on faces,
As the world passes by.
No one ever looks up
And I cannot understand why.
When will you realize
Your time on Earth is so short.
One blink of an eye, and it’s gone…
CHORUS
So while you’re missing the world
And all of its imperfections,
You should take in all of the wonders that surround us.
So while you’re missing the world
You’ve lost time with the ones you love.
And soon your loved ones are gone,
They’ve died or moved on.
And you’ve lost your chance to share a moment…never to return.
VERSE 2
Words are not spoken,
Avoiding eye contact.
Connected to the world,
But cut-off from reality.
Talking face-to-face,
Breathing your surroundings.
Don’t trust the digital images,
Just your own eyes.
(CHORUS)
BRIDGE
It’s not too late,
There are connections to break.
When digital distractions are gone,
Life opens up its arms.
See the world around you,
breathe in those around you,
In the few years you have left.
Don’t miss this chance.
