Lyrics
I'VE GOT THE COVID-19 BLUES
VERSE These days of isolation-Make me feel so alone.
I wish that I could go out,I want to leave my home.
VERSE But I'm supposed to stay put,Can't see family or friends,
And they can't visit me.Lord, will it ever end?
CHORUS I've got the COVID-19 blues, Lord,It's gone on for so long.
Are we being punished? What have we done wrong?
VERSE Is it because we've chosen
To ignore the climate change?
Is it 'cause so many folks
Are full of anger and hate?
VERSE Is it a wake-up call from God
Because of all our sins?
How can we make amends?
Turn our losses into wins?
CHORUS
VERSE Lord, what can we do
To help the planet heal?
How can we bring the boat of life
Back to an even keel?
BRIDGE Perhaps we should see the virus,
as a call to fix our ways
So we can make big changes,
To start a brand new day.
NEW LAST CHORUS
So then no more COVID-19 blues, Lord,
It's gone on for too long.
We need a new beginning.
A way to right what's wrong.
Last chorus repeat
