It Begins

---

It begins with panic and worry
It begins with darkness and loss
The world is changing too quickly
The world is not what it was

How will we cope with these changes?
How will we live each day now?
It’s finally here and it’s gaining
It’s finally here, but how?

Ready or not it is coming
Ready or not it won’t pause
Will we just quake in its shadow?
Will we bow down on all fours?

We won’t succumb to its anger
We won’t let it change who we are
It can’t destroy our creations
How can it, we’ve all come so far

The fear however is growing
The fear is running amok
The ‘norm’ is about to take over
Not that ‘they’ give a fuck

It’s time to stand and be counted
It’s time to be all as one
For nothing is stronger than we are
Together we have already won

The things we have learned can’t be taken
The things we hold dear are still true
The lives we have all now created
The lives we all shared to get through

Don’t let the future outwit you
Don’t let it push you too far
You are your own mind and person
You aren’t what ‘they’ say you are

The end is now the beginning
The beginning is now at the end
The world is quietly waiting
Be cautious, go slowly my friend
