You Too, Shall Pass, CoVid-19




You came without warning
You devastated our lives
We could do nothing
Many perished without goodbyes

There were days where the world stood still
Thousands felt helpless, lost and nowhere to go
Each country doing their best to cure the ill
So far the recovery has been slow

But we will fight you, we will prevail
We are many, you are but one
We will do all we can to end your toxic trail
We will not stop until we are done

Singapore is a small but strong nation
With the many qualities we hold dear 
Together we will to stop this proliferation
You can be sure your eradication is near

Chorus
CoVid-19 your days are numbered
Everyday your aggressive disposition was featured
CoVid-19 your strength will be diminished
Everyday we gain insights to your grand finish

Social distancing is one measure
That we practised on a daily basis
The mask we wear serves as a reminder 
We won’t let you come near our faces

Government aided funds mitigated problems in economy
Frontliners sacrificed their time and energy 
Volunteers helping out the communities
Donations from philanthropists are aplenty

We have turned this adversity into an advantage
We saw this as a good time for growth no matter the age
Working from home allowed for bonding time
The lockdown made it easier to study online

A vaccine to end this most infamous virus
Is what all scientists are scrambling to find
We, as a people will stand and work together
To turn individual strand into ties that bind

We stand with all countries in solidarity
The strength we’ve amassed is manifold
To reach a common goal, together in unity
In the end, resilience is what we will behold
