Isolation of Spring

following are lyrics to a song I wrote while in quarantine with the idea that spring this year is in isolation

working on putting it together with music

What if all the shops were closed

and all the music silenced

what if no one in the world could make a sound

what if spring never came

What would your voice say

would you grumble and complain

or would you lift your praise

to the One?

What if all you ever feared is how you live your days

and all your human senses have been banned

what if all the news is bad news, sadness and rage

what if everything you worked for isn’t worth a day’s wage

What would your voice say

would you grumble and complain

or would you lift your praise

to the One?

What would your voice say

would you grumble and complain

or would you lift your praise

to the One?

What if all the people are too far away to touch

and the clock that keeps on ticking seems to be too much

what if all you ever dreamed of, visions crumble in your view

what if death has to happen before you can be made new?

What would your voice say

would you grumble and complain

or would you lift your praise

to the One?

What if someone can hear me

what if someone can love

what if someone can hold me

what if someone can see

deep within the eyes of those crying out for relief

What would your voice say

would you grumble and complain

or would you lift your praise

to the One?

what if someone can taste and see that He is good

and smell the refreshing of a springtime rain once again that never came
