" Look Up " by Gary Turk

I have 422 friends , yet I am ____________________ .
I speak to all of them every day , yet none of them ____________________ ____________________ me .
The problem I have sits in the spaces between
Looking into their eyes , or at a ____________________ on a ____________________ .

I took a ____________________ ____________________ and opened my eyes ,
I looked around and realised ,
That this ____________________ we call ____________________ is anything but
When we open our computers and it's our ____________________ we ____________________

All this technology we have , it's just an ____________________
____________________ ____________________ , a sense of ____________________
But when you step away from this device of ____________________
You awaken to see a world of ____________________ .

A world where we're ____________________ ____________________ the technology we ____________________
Where information gets sold by some rich greedy bastard
A world of self ____________________ , self ____________________ and self ____________________
Where we all share our best bits but , leave out the ____________________ .

We're at our most happy with an experience we share ,
But is it the same if no - one is there ?
Be there for your friends and they'll be there too ,
But no - one will be if a ____________________ ____________________ will do .

We edit and ____________________ , ____________________ adulation
We pretend not to notice the ____________________ ____________________
We put our words into order and tint our lives a - glistening
We don't even know if anyone is listening

Being alone isn't a problem let me just emphasize
If you read a book , paint a picture , or do some exercise
You're being ____________________ and present , not ____________________ and ____________________
You're being awake and ____________________ and ____________________ your time to good ____________________

So when you're in ____________________ , and you start to feel alone
Put your hands behind your head , ____________________ ____________________ from the phone
You don't need to ____________________ at the menu , or at your contact list
Just talk to one another , learn to co - ____________________ .

I can't stand to hear the ____________________ of a busy commuter train
When no one want's to talk for the fear of looking insane .
We're becoming ____________________ , it no longer satisfies
To ____________________ with one another , and look into someone's eyes .

We're surrounded by children , who since they were born ,
Have watched us living like ____________________ , who now think it's the ____________________ .
It's not very likely you'll make world's greatest dad ,
If you can't ____________________ a child without using an ____________________

When I was a child , I'd never be home
Be out with my friends , on our bikes we'd roam
I'd wear holes on my trainers , and graze up my knees
We'd build our own clubhouse , high up in the trees

Now the park's so quiet , it gives me a chill
See no children outside and the swings hanging still .
There's no skipping , no hopscotch , no church and no steeple
We're a generation of ____________________ , ____________________ phones and ____________________ people .

So ____________________ ____________________ from your phone , ____________________ ____________________ the display
____________________ ____________________ your surroundings , make the ____________________ of today
Just one real ____________________ is all it can take
To show you the ____________________ that being there can ____________________ .

Be there in the moment , that she gives you the look
That you remember forever as when love overtook
The time she first held your hand , or first kissed your lips
The time you first disagreed but you still love her to bits

The time you don't have to tell hundreds of what you've just done
Because you want to ____________________ this ____________________ with just this one
The time you sell your computer , so you can buy a ring
For the girl of your dreams , who is now the real thing .

The time you want to start a family , and the moment when
You first hold your little girl , and get to fall in love again .
The time she keeps you up at night , and all you want is rest
And the time you wipe away the tears as your baby flees the nest .

The time your baby girl returns , with a boy for you to hold
And the time he calls you granddad and makes you feel real old .

The time you've taken all you've made , just by giving life ____________________ .
And how you're glad you didn't ____________________ it , by looking ____________________ at some invention .

The time you hold your wife's hand , sit down beside her bed ,
You tell her that you love her and lay a kiss upon her head .
She then whispers to you quietly as her heart gives a final beat
That she's lucky she got stopped by that lost boy in the street .

But none of these times ever happened , you never had any of this .
When you're too busy looking down , you don't see the ____________________ you ____________________ .

So look up from your phone , shut down those ____________________
We have a final act existence , a ____________________ number of days
Don't waste your life getting ____________________ ____________________ the net ,
As when the end comes nothing's worse than ____________________ .

I'm guilty too of being part of this machine ,
This ____________________ world , we are ____________________ but not ____________________ .
Where we type as we talk , and we read as we chat
Where we spend hours together without making ____________________ ____________________

So don't give into a life where you follow the hype
Give people your love , don't give them your 'like'
____________________ from the need to be heard and defined
Go out into the world , leave ____________________ behind .

Look up from your phone . Shut down that display . Stop watching this video . ____________________ ____________________ the ____________________ ____________________ .
