lyrics

A COVID SONG

Something new to you
but not new to the world
by the time it gets to you it’s just your turn
and after all you're not some broken toy

a new coordination after all
Like learning to get up after a fall
Patience with yourself will serve you in the end
when you’ve been sitting with discomfort for a while

You can try to search for meaning in the new
ask yourself why all day long, and never reach the truth
or you can ask yourself a question that may help
The searching and the learning will connect you to yourself

and oh my word
You promise never to look at suffering the same
You promise you’ll be kinder
More open and willing
More like the softly falling rain

the newness will recede as life comes back
a blessing when it happens
you know it’s not a given and that sometimes the Lord
He rests their souls and they’re not coming back (repeat & fade)
