Verse 1
Invisible things are hard to believe
Like the holy spirit, grace and a brand new disease
Why can’t we trust all the people who know
A whole lot more than we do; not be so skeptical
Pre-chorus 1
It’s not a conspiracy
We’ve gotta roll up our sleeves
If we’re going to get through this thing
Verse 2
The principal is closing the school
We’ve gotta keep our distance and try to stay cool
Start quarantining and kick off your shoes
It’s gonna be a few months before this pandemic’s through
Pre-chours 2
This is an emergency
We’ve gotta roll up our sleeves
If we’re going to get through this thing
Chorus
Yea we’ve gone viral
In a spiral, running out of control
Yea we’ve gone viral
Hiding out at home is our only hope
C’mon let’s flatten the curve (flatten the curve)
C’mon let’s flatten the curve (flatten the curve)
Verse 3
These days are different, yea the family’s all home
Daddy’s teaching the kids while mommy works on the phone
We’ve gotta keep this train moving along
The capital is invested but the market ain’t strong
Pre-chorus 2
Chorus
Pre-chorus 2
Chorus
Inspiration
This song was written during the very beginning of the COVID-19 shutdowns in the US. It’s essentially a PSA that says “STAY HOME.”
As I write this, we’re in week 2 of the shutdown and it seems that there are still too many people out and about, treating this like it is not a big deal. Hopefully people will get the message and help us flatten the curve!
