I've to panic, but not to panic buy I've
been trained to buy things my whole
entire life
And if I'm not gonna leave
the house for two
weeks
We're gonna need something to eat
I didn't go crazy, just some cans of food
Two bags of pasta,
some unperishables
There was a meme going
round about toilet roll
So I made sure we had some of that and
all
And the very next day all
the shelves are deserted
And everybody's streaming it live
On
Facebook now everyone can see
That something big is happening
And the system that we know so well
is slowly unravelling
And everybody everywhere
stands to be affected
And the word of the day is unprecedented
It's been a really really
really strange day
The only thing we know
for sure is
everything has changed.
Strange day, oh yes indeed. I'm
gonna keep on washing them
till my hands are clean.
From the supermarket to the hospital,
the stocks
are dwindling and the beds
are almost full.
An incoming disaster for our
NHS as
They analyse the numbers an
d brace for impact
We are told to keep our distance from
other human beings
Don't go to work or attend
any gatherings
And every time I cough I
feel like I'm infected
And if it doesn't kill me I'll
play my part in spreading it
But what on the street seems to
carry on as planned
The train station's crowded
and the pub's around
It's been another couple of strange days
The only thing we know for sure
is everything has changed
And if we can't follow advice,
then new laws will be drawn
And for everybody's benefit,
we now must stay indoors
Locked down and locked on to govern
ment announcements
Business is closed as the death toll rises
Trying to do our best to
understand the curve
As is everybody in every
country in the world
Loved ones are lost without
a last goodbye
The hospitals are full now an
d there's no end in sight
We're all isolated,
alone and in the distance
And that's never been healthy
for us as human beings
As the fear, the panic and
depression takes over
The vulnerable people are
more vulnerable than ever
Strange days
The only thing that's certain now is
Everything has changed
But we must hold on to our hope
And know that it will pass
And from the ashes
Lessons must be learned
Now the curtain has fallen
We've revealed our true colours
And realised the importance
Of delivery drivers
Doctors and nurses
And people stacking shelves
These are the ones
Who de serve our applause
And if we stand a chance
At defeating this virus
We'll have to rediscover our faith in science,
in order to survive.
We must work together,
cos the virus doesn't care about religions or borders.
As we mourn our dead, and our days gone by,
and prepare for the biggest change in our
lives.
Strange days, the only thing that's certain now
is everything has changed
Strange days, oh yes indeed,
the whole world must unite to fight this common enemy
