about

Track 20 of a 21 song album written and recorded in 21 days during lockdown in South Africa because of the Covid-19 pandemic.

lyrics

Life puts up a solid fight
When you’re figuring out what comes next it attacks with surprise
So find a way to recognise
All the obvious warning lights and the tell tale signs

When it’s safe, go outside
Feel the sun shine in your eyes
Lift your chin, stand up straight
And move forward with confidence

Be the best you can be
Let your worries all run free
Feel the weight of the world leave your shoulders in every sense
We’re doing fine

Keep, keep one eye on your back
And the other on the things you still want to achieve
Send a message to the world
You’re stronger than the others tend to believe

When it’s safe, go outside
Feel the sun shine in your eyes
Lift your chin, stand up straight
And move forward with confidence

Be the best you can be
Let your worries all run free
Feel the weight of the world leave your shoulders in every sense
We’re doing fine
