Reconnect to This World

Reconnect to this World - Bill Mumy

When I was a child

I didn't think about pollution

I wasn't anxious about wars or poverty

Then after awhile I searched for solutions

Decades of worry really got to me

So I let it all go

Stopped thinking about it

Just been letting the chips fall where they may

The flip that switch if you want to I won't doubt it

They've been selling tomorrow to pay for today

Now I'm trying to reconnect to this world

Not even sure what that means

Trying to reconnect to this world

From a distance behind the scenes

Look here at this tree

It's limbs are long and twisted

The roots cracked the cement out into the street

I doubt if it cares about a thing that's ever existed

But its shade is a nice way to escape from this heat

So I'm trying to reconnect to this world

Not even sure what that means

But I'm trying to reconnect to this world

From a distance behind the scenes

Don't ask me to sign your new petition

Don't ask me to give my money away

Don't tell me about your sad condition

Don't tell me where or when I need to pray

No one here can say

They know for sure what's coming

Yes I've heard a lot of talk about prophecy

I'm not headed the same way that most of you are running

I don't believe you can't escape from your destiny

Now I'm trying to reconnect to this world

Not even sure what that means

Trying to reconnect to this world

From a distance behind the scenes

Trying to reconnect to this world

Trying to reconnect to this world
