Another lockdown, parents groan
                Back to home learning
                Dreaming of happier times
                This is what happened
                During the year the world stopped

                Pubs and restaurants closed
                No more meals out
                Only takeaways open
                Fish and Chip Friday is still allowed
                This is what happened
                During the year the world stopped

                Stay home
                Protect the NHS
                Saves lives
                This is what we were being told to do
                This is what was said
                During the year the world stopped

                Clap for carers
                A since of community
                To help encourage the NHS                       The internet crashing
                A chance to see people
                                                                Became the new norm
                At a distance                                   Teams IT issues
                This is what happened                           All the time
                During the year the world stopped               This is what happened
                                                                During the year the world stopped
                Missing seeing people
                Trying to stay hopeful                          Then a few days ago
                Thinking of better times
                                                                A glimmer of hope
                Hoping that lockdown                            Going back to school
                Will be lifted soon
                                                                The cases are beginning to go down
                This is what I thought                          This is what I is happening
                During the year the world stopped               During the year the world stopped


                                                                Just a little bit longer
                                                                A few more weeks
                                                                Then I will be able to
                                                                See my friends
                                                                This is what will happen
                                                                During the year that the world stopped
