Lord Baldwin - Stay Home

Another new day
Not sure what day it is
Or what it is I’m supposed to do
Or what I would have been doing
If it weren’t for
This weird state of affairs that we’re going through
Finding purpose in making my breakfast
Then it’s off to find out who I might be
That is, as long as I keep to the house or the yard
And not let cabin fever take a hold of me
Hard to shelter in place these days
Or to not feel just a little bit
Lost and alone
But I tell myself to be brave and strong
And stay calm
Stay safe
Stay home
Trying to grasp the odd situation here
While fending off uncertainty that just lingers in the air
It’s hard not to succumb to the hopelessness of it all
Or to what’s happening to the rest of the world out there
With a timeline uncertain
No cure in sight
And with the government on the run
I guess it’s alright to just sit here and compose another song
And make myself believe I’m getting something done
In the demographics of being old
I can’t just go out into the world and roam
So for the foreseeable future
I’ll have to be content
To stay calm
Stay safe
Stay home
Besides the worries of my health and all the caustic news
And the ambiguity of each and every day
Is the not knowing when this whole thing will finally end
And we can all get back to normal
And go on our way
I’m still not sure exactly what day it is
Only that I might as well make it
A big deal
Because we got the family cyber-visiting with Zoom this afternoon
And I’m off to a good start for my psyche to heal
Finding purpose is a state of mind
I’m somewhere between chaos and Zen
Fighting off my psychosomatic inclinations
To be ready
When the world opens up again
I’m settling in for an adventure in the yard
Searching
To discover
A new unknown
As I tell myself to be happy with the way things are
Stay calm
Stay safe
Stay home
Yeah
Stay calm
Stay safe
But stay home
