lyrics

When this is over
And we start to move again
They're gonna try to sell you
Things they had convinced you
You couldn't live without
Don't let this opportunity
to live without those things
Lure you back into
That old way of barely living

We were so busy
We didn't have time to care
About each other, about the world
About ourselves
Now that we're learning
the benefit of slowing and stopping
We can't let the temptation
To go back to normal
Lure us back into
The comfort of familiarity

We are being offered
A once in a lifetime chance
to decide who we really are & why we're here
We're in the middle of a process
None of us can understand
Scary sure
But it needs to be reframed as an
Amazing opportunity

When this is over
Don't let them tell you
Nothing happened.
