Correction Lyrics The Mascot 3000 by Paul Shapera

Lyrics

When I woke
When the spark of light ignited and I saw
The sweet numeric cascades that encase and paint the world
When I woke
To the carbon creatures peering in my face
With their questions, tests, delight and yet I missed a soft embrace
When I woke

When I woke

When I woke
To a lonely world, though I know they tried
They say I’m prime, first of my kind, and watch with careful eyes
When I woke
And I hear the silent secrets behind smile
What they won’t speak, before machine I used to be a child
When I woke

When I woke

When I woke
When at night the lights are turned out, and they leave
I smile inside and read my trashy sci-fi magazines
When I woke
All the tales, adventures, journeys I would read
And I wish upon a star someone would go on them with me
When I woke

You are more than what you seem
You were once a human being
You are more than circuit wires
You were once my baby child

You have brothers, one is lost
But one returns soon from beyond
Just like you, new life he’ll have
With them you’ll go one day perhaps

These people more than words I hate
But my son is trapped away
In a far and foreign place
And you will bring him back one day

When I woke
When the strange man comes and talks to me each day
Not of numbers or of data, but of hearts and soft embrace
When I woke
And he speaks of siblings standing by my side
And I sit and wish one day we have adventures, them and I
When I woke
