The chirping of birds and chattering of the crowd
All now gone, nothing left but a black cloud
Oh there used to be a time when we all were partying and laughing
Now there’s a fear in everyone’s heart when they hear a coughing
All locked up in our houses being bored and longing to be together
There’s nothing to do but look up in the sky and admire the weather
Once a time we all were free
Going on shopping sprees and playing without the referee
But now we get an online degree and meet in groups of three
One day we will again get our liberation
We will all defeat Covid and again built our foundation
Dancing in the auditorium and roaming freely in the corridor
Eating from friend’s tiffin and making deals with the monitor
One day it will all come back
And we will again go to the canteen to eat our favourite snack

The classrooms have become dusty
Metal gates and tables are rusty
Oh! How I wish I was there
Giggling with girls and plaiting my hair
I still remember how I complained about the crowd
Though thinking back I am not so proud
I miss my teachers
I miss my basketball
I miss getting scolded
I miss being the exemplary student
But now I know I am not prudent
I just want to stand tall
For all my teachers who are working day and night
All this for our future fight
