We've got to
We've got to stand six feet apart,
Until this thing is done,
But we've got to stand together
To show that we are one.
We've got to wash the hands
With hand gel or with soap,
We've got to shop with patience,
Take our time behind the rope.
We've got to remain calm,
When there's panic in the air,
We've got to look out for those around us,
And show that we still care.
We've got to stop and smell the flowers,
See the miracles of Spring,
The primrose and the daffodil,
And hear the blackbird sing.
We've got to say a prayer
Even though it's been a while.
But God is not like you or I,
He doesn't keep a file.
We've got to believe in happy endings,
That this will end quite soon
And that we'll emerge much stronger,
From our home made cocoon!
We've got to plan a party,
When all this "craic" is o'er
When we'll look at things quite differently,
And appreciate things so much more.
Grandad can you tell me?
Grandad when you were young
Were you ever bold?
And did you always do
What you were told?
Grandad do you see the moon?
Could we get there in a car?
And on a starry night
Who puts the light in every star?
Is there a fire inside the sun?
Will it ever lose its light?
And grandad is it true
That cats can see at night?
How does a river start
What makes its waters flow?
How do leaves get their leaves?
What makes the grasses grow?
How do my eyes stay closed
When I'm asleep in bed?
Why do hairs grow in your nose
And not upon your head?
Grandad how do you make a wrinkle
'Cos mine keep going away
And you can make a new one
Nearly every day!
What makes the thunder
When it crashes I'm afraid
And grandad can you tell me
How is lightning made?
Who puts the smell in all the flowers
How do nettles sting?
And grandad can you tell me
Who taught the birds to sing?
Have you ever seen a leprechaun?
Does he have a pot of gold?
And grandad can you remember
The day that you got old?
Grandad can I tell you
How much I love you?
I love you as big as all the world,
I really really do!
