The Days the Earth Stood Still

Those dark clouds to you seem so chokingly thick

The virus paralyzes us with fear and makes us sick

But trust me, we'll find joy and laughter again, I must admit

Children will play in school and give their teachers a fit

You'll visit your elderly parents without a worry or care

Everyone can go out without a mask and not get an angry stare

They'll listen to their favorite band and see teams win or lose

Best of all we can hug anyone we miss and chase away the blues

It will happen soon enough, take my word.

We will rise faster than a soaring bird.

Wisdom and love will be our biggest gift

Fear, anger and hate will be gone swift

This will just be another distant day

Come, leave the misery behind and stay

But never forget the days the earth stood still

When just a breath or a touch could kill
