Stay the course
Over the mountains and under the sea
are all kind of mysteries for you and for me.
So many problems that wait to be solved
many adventures before they’re resolved.
There’s equipment to gather and skills to perfect
if we’re to prevent all our plans being wrecked.
We’re good at the planning and choosing our crew
a variety of people who know what to do.
The same now applies to Covid nineteen.
Distance and common sense, masks to be seen.
We lean on the science and medical skills
for prevention and cure of all of our ills.
Ignoring all rumours and staying the course.
Thanking the nurses and all front line force.
Doctors and carers and firemen too whose
lives they are risking for me and for you.
We offer our prayers in this ungodly hour
That all will be saved by omnipotent power.
