A way to lead us back to yesterday

The noisy classroom became a quiet bedroom
The excited meeting room became a subdued Zoom call
Hugs and handshakes disappeared
Suspicion and social distancing appeared
How will we find a way
That will lead us back to yesterday?
Our Children are scared to play in a park
And Adults are scared to give a hug
With masks attached like a second skin?
Is this the world we now live in?
How will we find a way
That will lead us back to yesterday?
So many lives have been lost
And so many hopes dashed
So many plans unravelled
And so many celebrations cancelled
How will we find a way
That will lead us back to yesterday?
Even with all the power and money
Is it really worthful?
When all you are fighting for
Is just oxygen to breathe
How will we find a way
That will lead us back to yesterday?
But now we must face forward
And not step back
Be kind and help others
And look beyond our own self
And that is how we will find a way
That will lead us back to yesterday
