The humble pun is all about connections, and so, sadly, is the humble pandemic.

lyrics

Joy is contagious
And we must all face it
There will be no Joy in our playing today
We all have to suffer
One way or another
For how could we truly know Joy without pain?

Joy is contagious
We must keep our distance
To make the world better for each girl and boy
We picked a forget-me-not
Fresh in her memory
A flower that blossomed for our own Joy

I know that it's hard to contain how we feel
When life is a battle, and the casualties are real
But after the rain falls, the sun reappears
And after the pain dies, Joy will still be here

Joy is contagious
Keep the torch burning
In case there's a place for Joy in our tomorrow
Leave the light on
For what's lost is not gone
We know in our hearts Joy is greater than sorrow
