Before the virus came
We strived towards a moving aim
There was money before shame
Of our own inner pain
Our dreams always pushed aside
Like we had something to hide
Now they bubble to the surface
Like a forgotten, forbidden place
Our own Atlantis to see
That helps us to feel free
Love still so hard to face
Like it was never commonplace
Yet it’s what is what binds us together
Or we will leave this world without a trace
What we have come here to be
Is inside of us you see
It just needs a little stillness to contain
And get through our own pain
Not seeking our own gain
Or acting always inhumane
Small acts of kindness break out
Like the sun through clouds of doubt
A gentle word to a stranger
Or helping the souls cross over
To a higher plane
So that we don’t go insane
From our own greed
Born from an insatiable need
To control and have
Living our lives cut in halve
A split person kind and cruel
Which one is our true fuel
The choice is ours today
We can find a better way
What is gonna be mainstay?
Will we have the courage
To keep selfishness at bay?
