Artificial Sun

Grab a stick, grab a shield

and we'll meet in the field

to wage friendly war

in the rain or the sun

We will play and have fun

and it's all outdoors

Those days of fantasy

of battles won

can never be replaced

by artificial sun

The flicker of a screen 

works like a sedative 

for what is only seen

is not like what is lived
