about

This song really stemmed from an Opinion piece I wrote for the American Pancake Music Blog concerning the current virus that has taken over our hearts and minds and is causing so much pain and fear worldwide. The article was short on answers but the tenor of the piece was how we as human beings (in my opinion) must all feel interconnected, not only to each other but to all creatures and the earth itself. That we need to be better stewards of our environment and truly feel like one large family. We have to because what affects one really affects all and we are in this all together. The notion that a rising sea effects all boats has to be embraced. If our neighbor does better, spiritually, economically etc then we all do better. It is in our best moral interest to think this way. Yes, it is a hippie notion but an important one. The song touches on that in a number of ways (We are We) without getting too preachy or too maudlin but, in the end, it is a bittersweet lullaby of sorts. Not sure if I can link the OP ED piece but let's see if I can: www.americanpancake.com/2020/03/opinion-covid-19-will-be-stopped-but-in.html?fbclid=IwAR1mm8unPGO7qyUagKmqV5oOKbxOgUjumPIlq6InnEgSBhcgCBYH9jg_rMU

lyrics

we can cry
we can dream
in our quarantine
we can laugh
we can scream
in our quarantine

little creatures
little creatures
we can hold them
little creatures
little creatures
don't have to eat them

we are blessed
we are serene
in our quarantine
I'll watch you
and you'll watch me
in our quarantine

all the people
all the people
they're our neighbors
they're our saviors
our saviors

(musical bridge)

we can cry
we can dream
in our quarantine
we can laugh
we can scream
in our quarantine

little creatures
little creatures
we can hold them
little creatures
little creatures
don't have to eat them

we are we
we are we
in our quarantine
we can laugh
we can scream
in our quarantine
we can fly
we can believe
in our quarantine

we can cry
we can dream
in our quarantine
we can cry
we can cry
we can dream
we can dream
in our quarantine

all we need
all we need is love
all we need
all we need is love
