All will be over and pain in the cosmos will fade
The wailing and crying will no longer be heard
The world will find its remarkable balance again
Yes, the invisible enemy will be defeated
Yes, we shall overcome
Temporary holding hospitals will close doors
Multitudes will recover and dance on the floor
New infections will be locked outside the door
Health workers return to their familiesindoors
We shall overcome, move on swift and strong
Television resumes airing telenovelas n wrestling
Football fans celebrating and shouting
Tiny-melodious voices of children merry-making
Learners eager to carry on with learning
We all shall overcome, move on swift and strong
Shopping malls will be abuzz with activities
Recreation facilities dispensing their duties
Churches re-opened and filled with activities
Muslims performing their worshiping duties
Indeed, We shall overcome
Lockdowns will be locked up and people freed
The markets will be safe again for buyers’ bargain
Public transport safe without passenger suspicion
Sneezing and coughing will no longer be a scare
Yes, in God’s name, we shall overcome
Time will unveil our strength, bigger than Corona
The world will value love than coronation
We’ll realize good heath is vital for transformation
We’ll embrace the new world order in jubilation
We shall overcome, and dance in celebration
