about

A COVID song which relevance will outlast COVID, he said, a little optimistically.

lyrics

It's the greatest and the smallest question anyone could ask
When we're trying to find our way through something stronger than we know
They look you in the eye but what you hide behind the mask
Is the face that more than simply law's forbidding you to show

CHORUS
And it's hard to make your next move when the world's not paid to care
It's not your fault
You're not the problem
We're not needed anywhere
There's answers, I don't have them
I'm simply here to say
Hey
Are you OK?

Now locked down all alone we shout into the void together
You'll read each word they're saying and not hear a single voice
When everyone seems sheltered from the storm you only weather
Don't be afraid to be afraid when it's the bravest choice

BRIDGE
The whole wide world that should be yours
Is chained and locked behind these doors
For all its iron and fastenings
The key's the very simplest thing

CHORUS

It's the greatest and the smallest question anyone could ask
