The traveler’s son they come askin’

Washing his face near the pond

A curious boy and they wonder
[Dm]
Where he came from

[Am] [G] [G7] [E7]
He says: “I, I have seen the world’s most beautiful places
[Dm] [Am]
Still I feel, as if I’m a walking machine

Watching it all through a screen
[E] [Dm]
There ain’t nothing in between to me
[Am]
This might as well not be real”

So many of them, they all sing

About the pleasures of life

Whose lives aren’t as lost as mine”
