When you haven't ventured out for months
And you haven't seen a friendly face
When the winter weather has been harsh
And you haven't left your local place

When you have spent a year in lockdown
And you don't recognise new normal ways
When you fear life will never be the same
And you can't see clearly through the haze

When restrictions start to get lifted
And the clouds are broken by sun rays
When you finally find your freedom
And you're on the path to brighter days

When you are nearer the end than the start
And the finish line is just out of sight
When we need to tell ourselves to just hold on
And everything will be alright
