Can we find silence in all this noise?
Fear is the dictator that rules the day.
Aren't we just children playing with our toys?


Thieves come to rob us our little joys
So many voices with so much to say.
Can we find silence in all this noise?


We have grown into spiritual decoys
Screaming and streaming for something to say
Aren't we just children playing with our toys?


High vibration and these spiritual ploys
Manifesting, the universe at play.
Can we find silence in all this noise?


Tik Toking breadcrumbs our psyche enjoys
Leading our minds to wander astray 
Aren't we just children playing with our toys?


The Real world is boring and annoys
And we get upset when our stuff’s taken away.
Can we find silence in all this noise?
Aren't we just children playing with our toys?


* I do not have a working title for this. I am open to suggestions

Maybe: Are we not just children playing with toys? ?
Or keep 'our', although the 'our' in "our little joys" already hints at it. That comes down to nuance of meaning and feeling.
Simply: Are we not just children playing with toys? is smoother.
