2020 Lyrics

I left the paper on the step

Nothing there I need to read just yet

There's a newsman every hour

Telling us the world has soured

Yes we know we all know

The next world war to end all wars

But this foe came to every shore

With no weapons to defend

And no beds for us to mend

We run and hide locked inside

How do I fight what I can't see

I fear that it will come for me

A loss of all control

And I'll be all alone

So far from all I know

How will I pay for what we need

I feel so helpless as we bleed

All the hopes for our tomorrow

We will beg and we will borrow

I'm so lost such a cost

I feel that time is moving slow

Dreaming of somewhere else to go

With humanity eluded

We're confined and so secluded

Have we changed it's all so strange

A wish for loved ones we can't hold

Afraid of all that might unfold

The loss of someone dear

A family left in tears

A future so unclear

There will be a day we're not apart

And I will keep you in my head and heart

The wind now carries all our fates

Holding our breath each day we wait

With our souls empty and hollow

Search for something we can follow

Stay alive we survive

How do I fight what I can't see

I fear that it will come for me

A loss of all control

And I'll be all alone

So far from all I know

A wish for loved ones we can't hold

Afraid of all that might unfold

The loss of someone dear

A family left in tears

A future so unclear
