lyrics

Week About

We’re treading a new path
In a world sliding sideways
Everyone’s hiding out
I’m a little nervous myself

Nobody knows just
What’s going to happen
We’re in for the long haul
Everything’s moving so fast

Somethings move forward
to the forefront of my mind
My family and my folk
I’m hoping that they’ll be alright

Then everything turns
The carousel spins
on our week about
Stories we’ll share
of our time apart
And when this is over
I’ll lift you back into my arms

Everything’s quiet now
The freeway is empty
There’s lights in the windows
Everyone’s bunkering down

And when this is over
will we reset our values
to what truly matters
Or, will we carry on just being blind?

But whatever happens
we’ve got each other
And I can’t wait to see you
When it becomes our week about

Then everything turns
The carousel spins
on our week about
Stories we’ll share
of our time apart
And when this is over
I’ll lift you back into my arms
