If in dreaming you lose hope
When you awake, strive to cope
Find a way to be strong
Be not dismayed about what went wrong
Pull up your sleeves and fight
To make all the wrongs right
If when through the window you gaze
All you can see is fog and haze
Try opening wide the door
And look not at the floor
Raise your eyes toward the sun
It may guide you to what must be done
When others complain and cry
So much harder must you try
Never in idleness sit forlorn and still
Bring forth your fortitude and will
From your challenges never retreat
Only in perseverance them will you defeat
Do not be frivolous and have not a care
But let not a virus make you live in fear
Causing you to wear a permanent frown
Like you are auditioning to be a clown
Do what you must to protect yourself I say
If you believe in God for strength you should pray
