Do What You Can

Tonight theyre shutting down the borders
And they boarded up the schools
Small towns are rolling up their sidewalks
One last paychecks coming through
I know youre feeling kind of nervous
Were all a little bit confused
Nothings the same
This aint a game
We got to make it through
As we wave outside the window
Older loved ones stay inside
Moms and babies blowing kisses
Maybe saving someones life
They had to cancel graduation
It aint fair to Skype the prom
Our kids sit home in isolation
TV news is always on
When you cant do what you do
You do what you can
This aint my prayer
Its just a thought
Im wanting to send
Round here we bend but dont break
Down here we all understand
When you cant do what you do
You do what you can
The chicken farm from Arkansas bought workers P.P.E
Not before 500 more had succumbed to this disease
Honest men and honest women working for an honest wage
I got a hundred point 1 fever and we still got bills to pay
When you cant do what you do
You do what you can
This aint my prayer
Its just a thought
Im wanting to send
Round here we bend but dont break
Down here we all understand
When you cant do what you do
You do what you can
They built a hospital on East Meadow
In Central Park last night
Doctors nurses truckers grocery store clerks
Manning the front lines
I saw a Red Cross on the Hudson
They turned off the Broadway lights
Another ambulance screams by
There by the grace of God go I
Although Ill keep my social distance what this world needs is a hug
Until we find the vaccination theres no substitute for love
So love yourself and love your family
Love your neighbor and your friend
Aint it time we loved the stranger
Theyre just a friend you aint met yet
When you cant do what you do
You do what you can
This aint my prayer
Its just a thought
Im wanting to send
Round here we bend but dont break
Down here we all understand
When you cant do what you do
You do what you can
When you cant do what you do
You do what you can
