Covid 4 in Gods Hands
When I opened my eyes I knew right away
I gambled and lost what can I say
Reaching for my puffer the last memory
Guess social distancing wasn't my style
Mom said I was like that even as a child
Is there a law against just being me
Invited to a party of course I'll be there
Asking Mom will only get me "don't even go there"
God she's so much like me
At the party social distancing nowhere in sight
People dancing and kissing right through the night
Unaware of the prescence of covid-19
Mom stayed with me most of the day
She had to go to work bills had to be paid
Mom and a nurse my only company
A doctor came in placed a chair by my bed
I was trying to process all that he said
Laura I'll be straight up no false hope no white lies
I have a daughter your age and the same beautiful green eyes
Overcome with emotion he dropped to his knees
We did all we could to beat this Covid- 19
It's still killing and no word on a vaccine
I couldn't save your life "please forgive me"
Doc the lights above me are starting to fade
So many emotions yet I'm not afraid
Well it appears there's somewhere I have to be
Doc would you mind squeezing my hand
please tell Mom I'm still her biggest fan
And when I let go my Mom will know her little
girls now in Gods hands
I gambled and lost what can I say
Reaching for my puffer the last memory
Guess social distancing wasn't my style
Mom said I was like that even as a child
Is there a law against just being me
Invited to a party of course I'll be there
Asking Mom will only get me "don't even go there"
God she's so much like me
At the party social distancing nowhere in sight
People dancing and kissing right through the night
Unaware of the prescence of covid-19
Mom stayed with me most of the day
She had to go to work bills had to be paid
Mom and a nurse my only company
A doctor came in placed a chair by my bed
I was trying to process all that he said
Laura I'll be straight up no false hope no white lies
I have a daughter your age and the same beautiful green eyes
Overcome with emotion he dropped to his knees
We did all we could to beat this Covid- 19
It's still killing and no word on a vaccine
I couldn't save your life "please forgive me"
Doc the lights above me are starting to fade
So many emotions yet I'm not afraid
Well it appears there's somewhere I have to be
Doc would you mind squeezing my hand
please tell Mom I'm still her biggest fan
And when I let go my Mom will know her little
girls now in Gods hands
