Now We Play a Selfless Game

As we sit inside our homes We sit together and alone change the world we have known A brand new side of life is shown Life so selfish and fast paced our aims, ambitions out of place The daily grind, the daily race we now live without this the case We seek to further for selfish gain now we play a selfless game a boat which we all row the same to keep ourselves and close ones safe And how the air now tastes clear the wildlife which does appear appreciation in national cheer it took the fear to get us here But now we know the good of change neighbours whom are not estranged Togetherness at first quite strange all to stop the germ exchange An understanding we now include social distance not seen as rude I do it for me I do it for you And the rest do it for each other too A change of life unforeseen a care and unity never been Humankind within a dream A human race we had never seen From these moments we see the best with a new anxiety our only stress as we lay our past ways to rest I hope that soon you are my guest
