My initial take on the Covid-19 lockdown. The sudden changes, the anger at the negative media, but ultimately the hope we would be a better society.

lyrics

WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT, SO MUCH COULD CHANGE,
OR WHAT YOU’VE GOT, GETS TAKEN AWAY,
HARD TO BELIEVE, WE’LL EVER BE THE SAME,
OUR DREAMS ON HOLD,
THE BIGGEST SURPRISE, WHEN YOU DON’T EXPECT,
HOPES WE HAD, TURN TO REGRET,
CAN’T FIND REASON, IT’S CAUSE AND EFFECT,
SO I’VE BEEN TOLD.

THIS MIGHT JUST BE THE THING WE NEED,
A CHANGING OF THE GUARD....INDEED.

I’VE HEARD IT SAID, SEEN IT ON THE NEWS,
THE FINGER OF BLAME, FROM THE QUICK TO ACCUSE,
SOMETHING AIN’T RIGHT, BUT THE MEDIA VIEWS,
WON’T WEAR ME DOWN,
THIS AIN’T POLITICS, RELIGION, OR CREED,
IT’S BIGGER THAN THAT, IT’S PEOPLE IN NEED,
THIS RECKONING DAY, TIME WE PAID HEED,
AND TURNED THINGS ROUND.

THIS MIGHT JUST BE THE THING WE NEED,
A CHANGING OF THE GUARD....INDEED.

SIMPLE DEEDS, MORE THAN ONCE IN A WHILE,
HOW GOOD IT FEELS, MAKING SOMEBODY SMILE,
STEPPING IT UP, GOING THE EXTRA MILE,
LET’S MAKE AMENDS,
WHEN THINGS LOOK DARK, THERE’S ALWAYS LIGHT,
IF WE ALL PULL TOGETHER, WE CAN MAKE THINGS RIGHT,
IT’S WORTH THE TRY, WHO KNOWS WE MIGHT,
BELIEVE AGAIN.

THIS MIGHT JUST BE THE THING WE NEED,
A CHANGING OF THE GUARD....INDEED. (repeat)
