All The World's Attention

When an infant holds a rattle
It gets all the world's attention.
When a baby learns to crawl
It gets all the world's attention.
When a toddler starts to walk
It gets all the world's attention.
On a child's first day of school
It gets all the world's attention.
All throughout your childhood
You get all the world's attention.
Then one day you realize
You must fight for the world's attention.
When you get it you don't know what to do
With all the world's attention.
So you try to run, try to hide
From all the world's attention.
And what's it get you in the end?
All the world's attention.
