All the children ask their mothers
Why do I have to stay inside?
And why can’ we go and visit grandma
Its only a short ride
How to explain a pandemic
Like trying to build a house from a toothpick
There’s a monster
No he can’t hurt you
He will be gone soon
We will take care of you
We keep our distance
And with persistence
If we’re all careful
That monster will be gone
How long will it last, can’t it be over now?
Why do I need a mask to play?
And are there angels, are there magicians
Who can cast a spell and make it go away?
How to explain a pandemic
How to explain all these statistics
there are angels
there are magicians
some are nurses
some are physicians
and you’re a hero
we are all heroes now
flattening that curve
till that monster’s gone somehow
