These are strange times we live in today
And we are all struggling to understand
It was a year many of us looked forward to
But it went against everything that we had a plan

The year took us all on a new journey
And many people were lost along the way
And the rich and poor carry the same weight on their shoulders,
Heading one direction seeking the hope of a brighter day

On this long and patchy road, we find ourselves on
We all feel trapped and confined
And we put our trust in the great minds of our generation
As they race against the clock looking to them to find a solution in time

Many buried their loved ones, friends, and families
A sadness now covers the earth
And with heavy hearts, they have to carry on
While keeping hope in the hearts for all that it's worth

We know that our lives could never be the same again
We now carry wounds that could never heal
Holes in our hearts fill the memories of the ones we lost
Time could change the hurt we feel

But we must not forget who we are
And how far we have traveled and come
And we would put our poker face on
And we will continue to travel towards the sun

And one day we will breathe in the fresh air,
And we will try to put our minds at ease.
Standing on the hill of hope and let down our hair,
Let it flow in the cool breeze.

And we will let our hearts and eyes wander
To all the beauty still left to be seen
From the sky to the sea below
There is still so much life in between

We will never let our residents be swayed by uncertainties
And we will not let it make us feel afraid.
We will open our eyes to a new dawn
Every morning after the darkness has faded.

We will take all negativity off the shelf
And focus on one direction
With the hope that we will beat this unseen enemy
That has reared its head in every nation

Together we are united in this as one
No longer comparing flaws in others' perfections
Everyone looking in the same mirror
And seeing only one reflection

And we will pick the sadness up off the floor,
And sweep away from it into the wind.
And when we close the doors
It would never make its way back in
