Lyrics

CORONAVIRUS SONG

When the whole world's shutting down
And death and fear are all around
And you have to scrounge or do without
And nobody knows what it's all about

You try to find a way
To make it through each endless day
You try to keep your family safe
And pray that they'll come through OK

When the sentry gave a warning
They dissed him - dismissed him
They partied - drank champagne and wine
Said everything's gonna be just fine
Stocks are at an all time high
Don't worry - don't listen

So the demon force took hold
Left to grow uncontrolled
A silent thunderbolt
Striking both young and old

The growing deaths a wake-up call
No more shopping at the mall
An invisible 6 foot wall
For the good of all

In the darkness - a beam of light
A sweeter song - a hint of dawn
Everywhere around the globe
People singing songs of hope
Believing in tomorrow
If they keep on - hanging on
