Stay Home Lyrics

Another new day

Not sure what day it is

Or what it is I’m supposed to do

Or what I would have been doing

If it weren’t for

This weird state of affairs that we’re going through

Finding purpose in making my breakfast

Then it’s off to find out who I might be

That is, as long as I keep to the house or the yard

And not let cabin fever take a hold of me

Hard to shelter in place these days

Or to not feel just a little bit

Lost and alone

But I tell myself to be brave and strong

And stay calm

Stay safe

Stay home

Trying to grasp the odd situation here

While fending off uncertainty that just lingers in the air

It’s hard not to succumb to the hopelessness of it all

Or to what’s happening to the rest of the world out there

With a timeline uncertain

No cure in sight

And with the government on the run

I guess it’s alright to just sit here and compose another song

And make myself believe I’m getting something done

In the demographics of being old

I can’t just go out into the world and roam

So for the foreseeable future

I’ll have to be content

To stay calm

Stay safe

Stay home

Besides the worries of my health and all the caustic news

And the ambiguity of each and every day

Is the not knowing when this whole thing will finally end

And we can all get back to normal

And go on our way

I’m still not sure exactly what day it is

Only that I might as well make it

A big deal

Because we got the family cyber-visiting with Zoom this afternoon

And I’m off to a good start for my psyche to heal

Finding purpose is a state of mind

I’m somewhere between chaos and Zen

Fighting off my psychosomatic inclinations

To be ready

When the world opens up again

I’m settling in for an adventure in the yard

Searching

To discover

A new unknown

As I tell myself to be happy with the way things are

Stay calm

Stay safe

Stay home

Yeah

Stay calm

Stay safe

But stay home
