Locked Inside (Covid Laments)

Locked inside the world stood still
Days turned to nights against our will
We lost the time we lost the touch
The things we took for granted now mean so much

We learned to cherish every day
To hold our loved ones come what may
From the darkness we found the light
We'll appreciate life with all our might

Empty streets and silent cries
Behind closed doors we realized
The value of a simple smile
The warmth of friends though miles and miles

We learned to cherish every day
To hold our loved ones come what may
From the darkness we found the light
We'll appreciate life with all our might

Memories of laughter now seem so far
But in our hearts they left a scar
We found new ways to stay in touch
Virtual hugs that meant so much

We learned to cherish every day
To hold our loved ones come what may
From the darkness we found the light
We'll appreciate life with all our might

Through the pain we found our strength
Together we'll go to any length
To rebuild the world to make it right
With love and hope we'll win this fight

We learned to cherish every day
To hold our loved ones come what may
From the darkness we found the light
We'll appreciate life with all our might

No more trust in those who lied
We found our strength we found our pride
Together we'll rebuild we'll stand
With family and friends hand in hand

We learned to cherish every day
To hold our loved ones come what may
From the darkness we found the light
We'll appreciate life with all our might

Locked inside but now we're free
To live our lives to truly be
We'll never forget the lessons learned
In every heart a fire burned
