A Virus put the brakes on
a world moving much too fast.
Now it’s time to wake up again, those dreams from the past.
A chance to think about those dreams we dreamed but put on hold.
Wishes that we kept down deep, thought about, but never told.
Running slower in the rat race, spinning wheels but going nowhere.
Want to make a brand new life, not knowing if we dare.
If this time has taught us anything, it’s that we all need to slow down.
Wrap our arms around the ones we love, take a good hard look around.
Realize what’s most important, and if it’s not just let it go.
Say goodbye to bad memories that hurt more than we know.
Wake upon a new day, another timeout in the fight
Say I love you and find out we have another Chance to get it right.
