Digital Winds Are Blowin’
Original lyrics in the style of Bob Dylan, to be sung to the melody of “Blowin’ in the Wind”
How many screens must a child stare through
Before they can see the sky?
How many machines decide what’s true
Before we stop asking why?
How many forests must burn to the ground
Before we hear the earth cry?
The answer, my friend, is lost in the cloud
The answer is lost in the cloud
How many workers can robots replace
Before we redefine worth?
How many refugees seeking a place
Will wander this divided earth?
How many pills for the mind’s despair
Before we heal what’s been hurt?
The answer, my friend, is lost in the cloud
The answer is lost in the cloud
How many clicks does it take to buy
A democracy up for sale?
How many truths can deep fakes deny
Before reality turns pale?
How many degrees must the planet warm
Before we heed the warning gale?
The answer, my friend, is lost in the cloud
The answer is lost in the cloud
