This is not about I
This is not about me
This is about us
This is about we
This is about fighting an enemy
Untouched and unseen
Whose power resides in the fear
This can mean
This is about coming together
While staying apart
And closing your door
While opening your heart
This is not about your house
But the space you call home
Not about your colour
Or the place you came from
This is about finding a way
To share someone’s load
Or helping the neighbour
Who lives down the road
This is about easing a burden
To help someone to cope
This is about purpose and meaning
And compassion and hope
This is about listening carefully
To the voice from above
This is about living
This is about love
This is not about I
This is not about me
This is about us
This is about we
