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
