When We Go Outside
We May Have Clear Skies
Cleaner Air But An Eerie Feeling Still Lingers There
Fills Us Up Inside At Times
With Dread, Fear,Or Anxiousness
For An Enemy Known, Unseen But Felt By Many
To Stay Alive And Well
We Have To Stay Apart From Each Other
No Kisses, No Holding Hands
For Some No Human Contact Made
It Is A lot To Ask
It Is So Much To Bear At Times
We Took For Granted
That It Would Always Be There
A Touch, A Hug, A Friends Gentle Nudge
Reassurance That We Matter
That We Are Cared For So Much
For Now We Stay Connected From A Distance, Afar
For Our Own And Each Others Sake
To Break This Wretched Curse
To Help Stop This Loss Of Life
Help End The Heartache
Staying Close To Home Is Saving Lives
We Have Flattened The Curve
We Are Weakening The Strain
We Are Draining Its Source
Find The Gain Within The Pain We Are All In
Let’s Make This Worthwhile
Let’s Turn This Around
Turn The Frown Upside Down
For The Part We Have Played
For The Lives That Have Been Saved
