Lyric
Do you remember a time when the world fell asleep
The people were afraid and we told them not to breathe
The children all stayed home and the money it got tight
It was hard to be alone like a war without a fight
Ooh we had to share our lives
Through little screens with tired eyes
The world was paused in life and death
And oh we learned to hold our breath
The days grew long and the lines the same
At the grocery store just to grab some things
A fiddle player sighed and turned in his bed
He just turned in the papers for a job behind a desk
Ooh not a sound downtown
No voices sung, no glasses rung
Tears in grandma's eyes
Her daughter's at the window afraid to come inside
The gardens grew tall and the robins flew away
They were learning how to fly when we were learning how to wait
We waited for a word to magically be said
To open up the world and let us breathe again
Ooh and the music plays
The people laugh and shout and dance
A young man holds a stranger near
They sway and they kiss without fear
