Lovers always feel the world has stopped Now it seems as though it has Empty sidewalks, suspended dreams Each little world looking through the glass Maybe all the world is just in love And hiding from our eyes Diving deeply within themselves To find their hidden surprise It can seem like it will never end We stay inside and just pretend But the days of our confinement are numbered What have you done while the world slumbered? A siren sings about a life That’s strapped down to a gurney Traveling quickly to find out If they get to continue their journey Bells are ringing in the distance It must be seven o’clock People applaud those giving resistance To an increased count on the loading dock It can seem like it will never end We stay inside, stream and pretend But the days of our confinement are numbered What have you done while the world slumbered? Everyone is wearing a mask As the atmosphere clears In India they can see Mount Everest For the first time in years Some animals have taken back What used to be their home Thinkin’ “maybe all those furless chimps Will finally leave us alone” It can seem like it will never end We stay inside, post and pretend But the days of our confinement are numbered What have you done while the world slumbered? And if you’re non-essential And lucky enough to eat You can use this time apart As a personal retreat We have a chance to change our dance Let your quiet mind be your tutor Each little room a personal womb Gestating the future It can seem like it will never end We stay inside, dream and pretend But the days of our confinement are numbered What have you done while the world slumbered? The question we must ask ourselves: Can we rethink what’s moral? Let’s dream ourselves a better world And make it the new normal What have you done while the world slumbered?
