Analysis of The machine of progress
We built machines to aid our lives
To serve our every need
We thought ourselves invincible
In our technological breed
But as the gears keep turning
And the screens keep glowing
We find ourselves trapped
In a cycle never slowing
We've lost touch with nature
And the magic it holds
Forgotten the beauty
That surrounds us, now untold
But the way out is simple
Though not easily found
We must unplug ourselves
And look around
For in the world of nature
There's magic to be found
It's there for those who seek it
And willing to be bound
Let us not be slaves
To the machine of progress
For true freedom lies
In nature's magic caress
