A comedy tune about the COVID 19 pandemic with a hillbilly flair.

COVID 19 BLUES (c) 2021

I entered the TALENTisTIMELESS global song contest for songwriters over age 50 ...  They wanted entries to be raw, so I only put together midi, vocals, and choir.

 Here are the lyrics to the song ...

FORWARD (a rebirth)
(Verse 1)
Woke up today, my mind was still a yawnin'
Through the window, I could see the day a dawnin'
My eyes saw things that caused a panic inside me
I could not believe what was happening around me

(Verse 2)
Corruption and crime, the people there were starving
Politics and war, the people there were dying 
Where's the reason and logic that held us all together
The compassion for each other that helped us through the weather

(Bridge)
I fell down on my knees, my arms splayed towards infinity and I ran to hide

(Verse 3)
Climbing up a hill, escaping from the city
Struggled through the bramble, my life it wasn't pretty
I couldn't see the forest, I was blinded by the trees
And I stumbled through my life, not knowing what I need

(Verse 4)
What was happening to me was going on everywhere 
There's something that was missing, you could feel it wasn't there
Something holding us back so we couldn't evolve
An answer right in front of us, a problem to resolve

(Bridge)
I fell down on my knees, my arms splayed towards infinity and I cried out

(Chorus) 
Forward, we can't move onward from this place
Forward, We must evolve the human race

(Verse 5)
I was climbing up a mountain, getting nearer to the crest
When I finally topped the summit, I sat down for a rest
I saw the sky above me, and majestic earth below
As i watched the horizon, the scars no longer showed

(Verse 6)
I couldn't see the pain, and i couldn't see the hunger
There was no disease, The bombs were no longer
Just the calm and serenity, everywhere I turned
I know we can evolve just as soon as we can learn 

(Bridge)
I fell down on my knees, my arms splayed towards infinity and with heavy sigh

(Outro)
Forward, we can't keep living in the past ...
Throw away the old myths and the rituals that bind and hold us fast
Where is our future, in the passages of time... We have to all work together or we cannot free our minds
I fall down on my knees, my arms splayed towards infinity and with pride 
I screamed forward, let's move forward
