Lockdown



Prisoners in our own homes away from reality
'Cause the establishment say it has to be
No human contact, not even family
All to save lives and humanity
Everyone follow the rules like sheep
But to the cost of sanity, maybe
The price of freedom is steep
But soon we all may be free
Greet our family, friends with open arms
Do all the things we took for granted
When the world was in all our palms
Feel blessed for all we have been handed
We'll cherish this wonderful life we have really
Positive seeds for the future have been planted
When we can all once again walk freely
