Me and all my friends

We can’t meet face to face

We’re stuck looking through a screen without

each other’s warm embrace

Now we see everything that’s going wrong

With covid and those who meet it

We’ve got to stay at home alone

To come together and defeat it 

So we keep waiting (waiting)

While binge watching Tiger King

We keep on waiting (waiting)

Just tried out crocheting 

It’s not a great existence

Just standing at a distance

So we keep waiting (waiting)

Waiting on the world to change

Now stuck at home isolated

Can’t greet our neighbors at the door

We pass each other on our walks 

Wave from across the grocery store 

And when you can’t leave your house

Life becomes such a bore

You gotta find a way to spend the time

Find a pastime you adore 

That’s why we’re waiting (waiting)

While knitting sweaters for your dogs

We keep on waiting (waiting)

Started going for daily jogs

It’s easy to be apathetic 

When you’re part of a pandemic 

So we keep on waiting (waiting)

Waiting on the world to change

And we’re still waiting (waiting)

Waiting on the world to change

We keep on waiting (waiting)

Waiting on the world to change

Everyone can try something new

Pot a plant, see what you grew

So we keep on waiting (waiting)

While baking banana bread

No we keep on waiting (waiting)

What’s that new book you read?

We keep on waiting (waiting)

Waiting on the world to change

Waiting on the world to change

Waiting on the world to change

Waiting on the world to change.
