Once hand in hand we built a home
With warmth that grew in bread and stone
Now its fingers swiping across the screen
Cold words replace where love has been
What happened to the vows we shared
To the shelter where our hearts once cared
Why does this home now feel so bare
A hollow echo fills the air
Oh the love of this world
Given away to machines weve made
When hearts grow distant ties begin to fade
Were drifting islands
Tossed in the waves
Losing the warmth of the lives weve paved
A parents voice turns into timed alerts
A childs laughter now just pixels and words
Strangers no longer exchange a glance
Their simple kindness lost to circumstance
Convenience reigns and we forget to share
Threads of connection fray beyond repair
When bonds unravel and silence expands
The soul feels the absence of reaching hands
Oh the love of this world
Broken down into gears and steel
When we no longer need to feel
We become machines
Lost in the wheel
Cheering for progress forgetting whats real
When the night falls who will light your way
Under neon skies who will hold your sway
If we turn to steel and silence our cries
Whats left to cherish beneath these skies
Dont let love fade
Dont let it turn cold
Reclaim the warmth
Our hearts used to hold
Oh the hearts of this world
Built for touch for care for flame
A machines cold glow cannot replace the same
Lets reach again
Let love remain
And bring the human spirit back from the pain
Let hands hold hands and bridges rise
Let laughter bloom beneath the skies
Let eyes meet eyes let hearts repair
And find again the home we share
We are not machines
Nor must we be
For love is the spark
That sets us free
