Our grandparents used to cherish the radio
While our parents took it for granted
To the older generation it was brand new
They heard the voices from miles away
Right in their little box
Our parents used to cherish TV
While we took it for granted
To the older generation it was brand new
They saw their favourite stories in motion
Right in their little box
We used to cherish our laptops
While our children took it for granted
To us older generation it was brand new
We saw our media cross networks
Right in our little box
I cannot wait for our children
To find their thing to cherish
To experience their brand new
And maybe this time
They’ll surpass the little box…
