What Really Matters
Everybodys staring at their phone
Even out with friends you are alone
You hanker for the days of old
With feelings and stories to be told
When a look into an eye
Meant „hello' or said „goodbye'
When feeling, touching or a kiss
Were too important to be missed
Now we need to look at screens
More than at people, so it seems
I want them back, the good old times
When we were humans, life was fine
In the past things were not better
But we knew what really mattered
We went playing with our friends
Hoped that daytime never ends
We were playing hide and seek
We went swimming in a little creek
When our mom told us we must
Be home for dinner she could trust
For she was our authority
And what she said was meant to be
When we fell out of the trees
We didn't need no attorneys
A band-aid and an ice cream cone
And the pain was quickly gone.

I want them back, the good old times
When we were humans, life was fine
In the past things were not better
But we knew what really mattered
We had our idols, loved their songs
And we would listen all day long
Took our allowance to the store
And bought a record, maybe more
A small collection on your shelf
Which you had gotten for yourself
A bass, a drum and a guitar
If you were good you'd be a star
It was your talent and your voice
Not a TV viewers choice
Life seemd much more real and deep
These are the memories I did keep.
I want them back, the good old times
When we were humans, life was fine
In the past things were not better
But we knew what really mattered
Now here we are in modern times
We are still humans, life is fine
We have a chance to make things better
Let's go back to what really matters
