Elexa Dawson writes:

The song was written at the very beginning of the shutdown and is a call to all of our better, higher selves to imagine a better world. "The Way it has always been done is now gone. This is our moment to sing a new song."

I thought it would be a great campaign song for Bernie Sanders, but the day after I wrote it, he suspended. Ah, well. It's still a good song.

lyrics

This is not the way that I thought the world would end
And though we're far apart, I'm so thankful for my friends
And we will not despair, we will take this opportunity
To better our relations, because we're one big family

Love is the message, love is a deed
Open our minds up, new eyes to see
The way it has always been done is now gone
This is our moment to sing a new song

The hour is approaching, be ready when it comes
We can change the world with kindness, cause the darkness to run
One thing you must remember when you're pressed against the wall
That love is never wasted, and the end comes to all

Love is the message, love is a deed
Open our minds up, new eyes to see
The way it has always been done is now gone
This is our moment to sing a new song
