DO NOT LET ME BE ERASED

THESE MUFFLED VOICES CANNOT SAY HOW MANY MORE WILL SLIP AWAY
AND AS THEY COUNT THE THOUSAND'S DEAD
ALL ANY ONE OF THEM CAN DO IS SHAKE THEIR HEAD AND ANNOUNCE THE RISING TOLL

IF A PRAYER WERE EVER ANSWERED LET THIS BE THE ONE
NO NOT JUST FOR ME BUT FOR EACH AND EVERYONE
DO NOT LET ME BE A NUMBER
DO NOT LET ME BE A NUMBER

NO ONE WANTS TO BE PUT DOWN
IN A BOX AND UNDERGROUND
NO ONE WANTS TO LOSE THIS RACE
NO ONE WANTS TO BE ERASED
NO ONE WANTS TO HAVE NO FACE
NO ONE WANTS TO BE ERASED
WITH COVID-19 AS THEIR FATE

THAT'S HOW IT SEEMS ~ MOST EVERYWHERE
IT'S ON YOUR HANDS ~ IT'S IN THE AIR
AND AS THEY COUNT THE THOUSANDS DEAD
ALL ANY ONE OF THEM CAN DO IS SHAKE THEIR HEAD
NO ONE WANTS TO LOSE THIS RACE
NO ONE WANTS TO BE ERASED
NO NO ONE WANTS TO BE ERASED
DO NOT LET ME BE A NUMBER
DO NOT LET ME BE ERASED

THESE MUFFLED VOICES CANNOT SAY HOW MANY MORE WILL SLIP AWAY

NO ONE WANTS TO BE  PUT DOWN
IN A BOX AND UNDERGROUND
NO ONE WANTS TO LOSE THIS RACE
NO ONE WANTS TO BE ERASED
NO ONE WANTS TO HAVE NO FACE
NO ONE WANTS TO BE ERASED
WITH  COVID-19 AS THEIR FATE
