Tonight they’re shutting down the borders
And they’ve boarded up the schools
Small towns are rolling up their sidewalks
One last paycheck coming through
I know you're feeling kinda nervous
We're all a little bit confused
Nothin's the same, this ain't a game
We got to make it through
As we wait outside the window
Older loved ones stay inside
Moms and babies blowing kisses
Maybe saving someone's life
They had to cancel graduation
It ain't fair to scrap the prom
Our kids sit home in isolation
Evening news is always on
When you can’t do what you do, you do what you can
This ain’t my prayer, it’s just a thought I’m wanting to send
Round here we bend but don’t break, down here we all understand
When you can’t do what you do, you do what you can
The chicken farm from Akansas bought workers P.P.E
Not before 500 more had succumbed to this disease
Honest men and honest women, working for an honest wage
I got a hundred point 1 fever
And we still got bills to pay
When you can’t do what you do, you do what you can
This ain’t my prayer, it’s just a thought I’m wanting to send
Round here we bend but don’t break, down here we all understand
When you can’t do what you do, you do what you can
They built a hospital on East Meadow in Central Park last night
Doctors, nurses, truckers, grocery store clerks manning the front
Line
I saw Red Cross on the Hudson
They turned off the Broadway lights
Another ambulance screams by
There by the grace of God go I
Altough I'll keep my social distance
What this world needs is a hug
Until we find the vaccination
There's no substitute for love
So love yourself and love your family
Love your neighbor and your friend
Ain't it time we love the stranger
It's just a friend you ain't met yet
When you can’t do what you do, you do what you can
This ain’t my prayer, it’s just a thought I’m wanting to send
Round here we bend but don’t break, down here we all understand
When you can’t do what you do, you do what you can
When you can’t do what you do, you do what you can
