It took a virus to quiet the world
One by one, our towers fell
We tried to grab them
to salvage what we could
We sent some more emails
Filled our cupboards
Checked our bank accounts
Painted rooms
We binged on the news
stuffed ourselves on stats and projections
and then ignored it all to watch Tiger King
We walked in circles
and then we ran
We collapsed in exhaustion
and finally we looked up
For a moment, we are listening
Lord, help us to hear you
Lord, help me to hear you
