From the recording Nightmare 2020
Lyrics
Facing the Day
( Lyrics - M. Novak, C. Webster Music - M. Novak )
I wake in the morning like the days before
But I know it’s not as my feet hit the floor
My mind quickly tells me I’m lonely and cold
Longing for the carefree days of old
She said “Write a happy song
One where the world gets along
Talk about puppies, chocolate and light
Not the demons that roam in the night”.
Chorus:
Facing the day - with masks and fear
Facing the day - don’t let anyone near
Facing the day - this nightmare will end
Facing the day - in science we must depend
These special people who don’t follow the rules
Risk everyone’s life they think we are fools
These fake patriots with guns in hand
Showing raw ignorance with empty demands
If you think a mask is Don’t tread on me
Well with freedom comes responsibility
Our social contract demands tolerance
All lives on the scale gotta be balanced
Chorus:
What lessons will be learned from this trying age
Will the common man become the sage
The next time don’t let the warnings go unheeded
At the end of the day it’s science that’s needed
Chorus:
