lyrics

I raise a glass to you, my dear, beleaguered friend
To the work you do, and the lives you must defend
You’re two months in and still, no end in sight
To the armored legion you stave off every night

I hear the music you made
So clear -- and it does elate
I play what I know best
To all who show interest

I pray they get the messages

I hope my neighbors don’t take it the wrong way
When I sing about how there’s no one around
Or simply when I speak for a while
They like the words, but take issue with the style

Yet what you say does resound
I make a difference where it counts
To aid with their unrest
I play at their behest

I pray they get the messages

I raise a glass to you, my dear, beleaguered friend
To the work you do, and the lives you must defend
You’re four months in and still, no end in sight
To the armored legion you stave off every night

I hope my neighbors don’t take it the wrong way
When I sing about how there’s no one around
But surely they must understand
Isolation was not planned

Unplanned and unforeseen
Consequences
