We are the music, we are the song

We are the instruments that play along

We are the drums that keep up the pace

And we hold the line like we’re playing bass

Our moods are like the rhythm that comes from a guitar

And our voices are the lyrics that give context to our song

We come in different ways and work in all different places

Like the genres, that ultimately all come from the same place

I scan your groceries, like a nurse scans your brain

Someone in Home Goods just sold you a lampshade

A teacher tries their best to just keep up the pace like a student just starting to learn bass

Some are like musicians who have seen it all before and others who don't know what they are in for

We are the music, we are the song

We are the symphony that rolls this pandemic along
