Dec 2020
You’re feeling down and lonely
Pandemic on the loose
COVID-19, they call it
It’s all over the world and every breaking news

Showed up in Wuhan, China
Like a shroud, a locust swarm
Its a dragon breathing fire
With a breath like an oncoming raging storm

The virus has just gone vvviral
Can this ever be undone
We are on a downward spiral
Has the doomsday we’ve heard of really finally come

We’re scared and we’re petrified
Crisis and we’re trapped inside
Medicines can’t put up a fight
But, grit goes a long way in learning how to survive

Hey,
Now don't feel trapped
Don't you fear what's next
We're going to be strong
From here and now on
The world is not ending

Hey,
We're quarantined
But we know that's best
Morale’s low and down, I guess
And despite all the stress
This is the message we're sending

Stay home, stay real strong
Don't let the virus cause you harm
No more corona blues
Don't let the virus get the better of you

Revere this time, put it to good use
Don't you panic or be confused
We're all somehow paying our dues
Don't let the virus get the better of you
Don't let corona get the better of you


The world that we live in
Has a new reality
Can’t believe a small cough
Could lead to such fatality
One shudders at the thought of gasping for breath
Could meeting with people mean flirting with death

We are learning from mistakes
And we know now what’s best
We will rise above the stakes
So don’t be depressed
We’re gonna get rid of this nasty unwelcome guest
While corona still hangs in the air
Here’s my request

Hey,
Don't feel trapped
Don't fear what's next
We're going to be strong
From here now on
The world is not ending

Hey,
We're quarantined
But we know that's best
Morale is low and down
The test is still on
There is no room for pretending
Stay home, stay real strong
Don't let the virus cause you harm
No more corona blues
Don't let the virus get the better of you

Use this time, put it to good use
Don't you panic or be confused
We're all somehow paying our dues
Don't let the virus get the better of you
Don't let corona get the better of you

We must learn from our mistakes
Nature’s put man in his place
Almost a slap in the face
The bubble’s burst and we’re wide awake

Loosing thousands of lives
Makes my heart just ache
Forget truth or conspiracy
We’re just going to win this war


Don't let the virus get the better of you
Don't let corona get the better of you
