We're Just Getting Started Now

We’re Just Getting Started Now

“We’re Just Getting Started Now” is truly a Covid 19 song, inspired by what I saw in 2020 - people I love having to put their lives on “hold” for a year as a virus killed hundreds of thousands of our fellow Americans.

I have not lost anyone close to me to Covid. I am lucky and I know it. But people close to me, myself included, did have a substantial wrench thrown into the workings of our lives last year – and as I write on the first day of June 2021, it’s not over yet.

God willing we will come through this. And God willing we will learn something from this past year. The next pandemic disease may be orders of magnitudes worse.

Everyone is one of us...

We’re Just Getting Started Now

Mary had a little plan

A family of her own

That might not be such a stretch for me

But Mary – she’s all alone

Today she’s laying low

She’s being careful

She will not drown

Mary’s strong - she’ll carry on

She’s just getting started now

Mary’s strong - she’s one of us

And she’s just getting started now

Dusty G - he loves old cars

And he’ll fix ‘em when he can

He started up his own garage

Dusty had a plan

The road was looking clear

Until last year the virus came around

Dusty’s down - but he’s not out

He’s just getting started now

Dusty’s strong – he’ll carry on

He’s just getting started now

Look at us – eight billion souls

Trying to find our way

Bumping up against the walls

And falling every day

But you know

There is an answer

Cuz if you fall

I’ll help you off the ground

Everyone is one of us

And we’re just getting started now

Eight billion strong

We’ll carry on

We’re just getting started now
