Open like never before
Stop
Wait
Who says we have to go back to normal
Back to anything
What if the new normal ain’t the normal we knew
And we can’t just do what we’d formally do
What if the biggest change is you and me
What if we choose to be open and say
I will never call my job unimportant again
I will never say the teachers holidays are too long
Or the school is dry and I can’t wait to move on
My ears are not my earphones
What if I listen
What if I’m missing
How bright your eyes glisten
What if just smile a bit
Travel less and love every mile of it
What if I believe in the change
My cooking, my music can do
Hey, what if I don’t dance
But just for you I might give in the rhythm soon
What if I refuse to be a stranger in my own living room
And I learn my lesson from a bad memory
And I’ll keep social distance from bad energy
And I’ll prove that funny be sexy any day but I’m cute anyway
What if my dreams never take the back seat again
What if I’m there whenever you need a friend
What if I celebrate my skin, my body, my hair every day
Even Mondays
And I stand by every word I say
Make my vote come
Make my voice heard today
You know what
I will never never never say the city has too many tourist again
I’ll lead like a woman
I have a family of dozens
I’ll give my little nephews and nieces some cousins
I’ll stay right beside you
I’ll sya yes, yes, yes, I do
I’ll never forget how much stronger we are together
I’ll carry that in my hear forever
Whatever the storm
So I be open like never before
