When the World Is Safe Again
When the World is Safe Again
Each breaking day as I awake
I ask my God in His good grace
To simply let me hold my place
Until the world is safe again
For now we have to wear our mask
So we can all complete the task
Of staying safe and out of harm
Until the world is safe again
I am sure the day will dawn
When each of us can be reborn
And hold our loved ones close once more
When the world is safe again
Loneliness can steal our song
It’s just a case of staying strong
This Covid nightmare will be gone
When the world is safe again
With the healing vaccine at our door
This awful plague should be no more
And each of us can then rejoice
When the world is safe again
Then we all will give our thanks
To all of those who held their ranks
And fought to keep us free from pain
When the world is safe again
