Generation Z

In the heart of suburbia, where the lawns are neat and trim
Parents of Generation Z, worried about their kids on a whim
High school's done, and college looms, but the future's all a blur
Their children lost in screens, searching for a purpose, it's obscure

Oh, Generation Z, you're not what we used to be
Glued to your devices, won't you look up and see
But who are we to judge, when we've laid this path for you
A world so complex, changing fast, we're all just trying to make it through

They're trying on careers, like clothes that never fit
While we're reminiscing 'bout the days when we'd commit
But times have changed, and so have dreams, they're multi-colored now
Not just black and white, like the boxes we allowed

Oh, Generation Z, you're not what we used to be
Glued to your devices, won't you look up and see
But who are we to judge, when we've laid this path for you
A world so complex, we're all just trying to make it through

Maybe we're too quick to judge, too slow to see
That they're navigating a world we could never be
Let them find their way, between old and new
And be free, and be free

Oh, Generation Z, you're not what we used to be
Glued to your devices, won't you look up and see

So here's to you, dreamers bold
Reaching heights, stories untold
Let's find our way, in this new light
