These days of darkness
A single light leads the way
A new dawn breaking

When this is over
and we can all breathe again
we’ll live for the day
For new days of innocence
Beaming smiles of simple joy

I never go out
I wait for deliveries
I wave from windows
My life is now the TV
Programs of fear sustain me

We all like a tale
A story to lose ourselves
This doesn’t end well
