Stop COVID
There are those that would extinguish
The light that God has made
And interrupt our journey
And all the plans we laid
There are those that would take our spirit
And make us feel such pain
To wash away the progress
And years of hopes and gain
We must all stand united
Against these common foes
Together we stay standing
Amidst the threats and blows
We owe it to the fallen
That their voices still be heard
That jabs are still the answer
We just have to spread the word
New jabs as we have answered
To stop COVID’s not absurd
You owe it to the interred
Too their voices still be heard
[Last two stanzas modified/added by]

SPREAD THE WORD
There are those that would extinguish
The light that God has made
And interrupt our journey
And all the plans we laid
There are those that would take our spirit
And make us feel such pain
To wash away the progress
And years of hopes and gain
We must all stand united
Against these common foes
Together we stay standing
Amidst the threats and blows
We owe it to the fallen
That their voices still be heard
That love is still the answer
We just have to spread the word
