Become united again at Christmas
2020 started out like
Any other year
Filled with hopes and dreams
Which quickly turned to fear
What was this we’re hearing
What has entered into our world
Stopping sports and closing schools
Is what we were being told
Wash your hands, social distance
Don’t shake a hand or hug
Businesses and restaurants closed
For in this world is a bug
People are not working for
Lockdown is what we should do
Only essential workers
Essential workers are who
The DMV is not open
Gyms closed Salons too
Get your car inspected
Your license you can’t renew
The Elderly have the bug
Whatever shall we do
Send them to the Nursing Homes
Are you surprised the bug grew
Our loved ones are dying
So scared and all alone
No one to hold their hand
No respect to be shown
We started wearing masks
To help stop the spread
Or are the masked to hide
What we all dread
We live in the United States
But united is not what we do
Each state made up their own rules
So COVID-19 grew and grew
The President says this
The Governor says that
Who do we listen to
COVID-19 just laughed
COVID-19 knew we weren’t united
Not this land of the free
We all do our own thing
COVID-19 19 had a shopping spree
Our homes once our safe place
Not our jobs or our schools
Now we are doing everything at home
Whatever shall we do
We are the land of the free
Don’t tell us what we can and cannot do
For surely we will protest
We won’t follow any of your rules
Now everyone is fighting
Protesting is what we do
Once known as the melting pot
We are coming unglued
Black lives matter
And certainly they do
White black or tan
Look around we are all sad and blue
So now the vaccine is coming
Some will get it some will not
How will we ever stop this
Will COVID-19 remain hot
Let’s become united on Christmas Eve
This is all you have to do
At eight o’clock stand outside
Ring a bell and start something new
Something showing unity
Love for one another
For everyone around you
Is your sister or your brother.
