Natasha L Scragg Poet Lyric

Covid 19

(To be sang to the tune of
 "The Circle of Life" - The Lion King)

This year brought a change to our planet.
Corona arrived on the scene.
So the challenge right now
Is to outsmart somehow
This totally clever disease!

Though there's much pain, much dejection,
The rainbow of hope moves us on.
And through lovable works,
We can help those who hurt
And one day we'll feel proud - on reflection.

This is Covid 19 - in 2020
Time for people to act
More compassionately.
Til we reach the end
Of this new pandemic,
This is Covid
This is Covid 19!

Charlotte Watkins October 28, 2021 at 4:00 PM Absolutely loved this!! And what's more, looking forward to making an attempt of my own. So many great tunes to pick from. GB Charlotte Natasha L Scragg October 29, 2021 at 3:48 AM Awe thanks Charlotte. It's a very fun challenge when you get into it. I've found myself trying this with more tunes! Such fun! :-D

Andrea Dietrich October 3, 2021 at 9:55 AM Great example for your contest, Natasha. I think it's so fun to write songs that match a tune already out there in the world. I used to do it a lot with Xmas songs. What a fun contest this will be for you. Natasha L Scragg October 3, 2021 at 11:03 AM Thank you, yes I liked the idea of changing the words to a known tune as I'm not clever enough to create my own music .. lol. Thank you Andrea. It is fun to do.

Robert James Liguori October 1, 2021 at 12:37 PM I.had to listen to the song first, but was able to carry your poem to the melody. Brilliant and heart warming. Thank you. Natasha L Scragg October 3, 2021 at 11:04 AM Thank you

Marikate Kingston September 10, 2021 at 7:43 PM I care about others so I wear my mask. "The rainbow of hope moves us on" My favorite line and the name of my daughter. I'm glad I found your poem. It is hard to hear anything about covid that is not angry. Nice to read yours instead.
