      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It&#39;s hard to think about tomorrow
When we&#39;re so busy surviving today
But no matter how bad things get
It&#39;s gonna be okay

Even though we&#39;re all suffering
and although friends are far away
We&#39;re still sticking together
So it&#39;s gonna be okay</p>

<p>The world outside looks so bleak
But this night isn&#39;t going to stay
This is only the dark before the dawn
It&#39;s gonna be okay</p>

<p>Things are going to get better soon
Because we&#39;ll all work to make them that way
United, we can do anything
So I know it&#39;s gonna be okay</p>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It&#39;s been a long journey
and though we don&#39;t know where it ends
We&#39;re almost there
I can feel it

It&#39;s been a difficult journey
Those who could walk, walked
Those who couldn&#39;t walk, we carried
But we couldn&#39;t carry everyone</p>

<p>It&#39;s been a strange journey
Different than anything we&#39;ve faced before
We mustn&#39;t forget all that we&#39;ve learned
We mustn&#39;t forget all that we&#39;ve lost</p>

<p>It&#39;s been a tiring journey
The end is still far away
But if we walk together
I know we&#39;ll make it</p>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You&#39;re six feet away
I can&#39;t reach for you
I can&#39;t take your hand
You can&#39;t tell me it&#39;s alright

It&#39;s been so long
since we&#39;ve seen the sun
So long ago
since I last saw you</p>

<p>I thought many times
That I could go it alone
But now that I am alone
I know I was wrong</p>

<p>I don&#39;t want this
I want to see life
I want to be closer
than six feet</p>

<p>One day soon
The sun will rise again
And on that beautiful day
I won&#39;t stay six feet away</p>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Remember when this started?
This whole unending nightmare
It began, and darkness fell
We were all scared

It&#39;s frustrating to see
People in charge doing nothing
It&#39;s hard to see an end
To this endless night</p>

<p>We&#39;re still scared
People still do nothing
But we&#39;ve seen the best in others
The spark of hope in the dark</p>

<p>We&#39;ve made it this far
It&#39;s still a long way to go
But we&#39;ll get there
And we&#39;ll do it together</p>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I helped you out
And you got annoyed
You didn&#39;t want my help
Even if I thought you needed it

I tried again
but still got it wrong
I didn&#39;t understand
but you explained it</p>

<p>You don&#39;t want help
You want to prove
that you can go it alone
You don&#39;t need anyone</p>

<p>Then everything changed
Everyone needed help
So now I&#39;ll say instead
“I&#39;m here if you need me”</p>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Even though you&#39;re far away
And I won&#39;t see you soon
I want you to know now
That I&#39;m thinking about you

That time we stood around and talked
We got to know each other a little better
It&#39;s still all in my head
And for now, it&#39;ll have to do</p>

<p>I&#39;m looking forward to the next time
When we get together once again
Even if it can&#39;t be long
It&#39;ll still be between us friends</p>

<p>That time is a long way away
So for now, know that I miss you
I&#39;ll keep you in my thoughts
And I hope you&#39;ll spare me a thought, too</p>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Not every superhero wears a mask
Some can only wear a smile
Showing that they understand another&#39;s problems
As they work to guide people out of the dark

Not every superhero has gadgets
Some of them wear bright vests
announcing to the world that help is on the way
as smoke and debris fills the air</p>

<p>Not every superhero wears a cape
Some of them wear surgical masks and gloves
Struggling every day to make a difference
against overwhelming odds</p>

<p>Not every superhero has superpowers
Most of them are ordinary people
that when the world was ending, stopped
and asked “How can I help?”</p>
