Lyrics

Recover

[Verse 1]

Cry

For the ones we have lost we have loved

Wash your hands

There's a thief of our breath

[Chorus]

Stay inside, stay alive

It will be alright

Stay inside, stay alive

It will be alright

[Verse 2]

Nature needs a break

So we wait in our home

Our foxhole

I'm out of a job

Confronting my life

The walls of my home

[Chorus]

It will be alright

It will be alright

[Bridge]

Will he get better?

A cold

Will he get better?

Just a chill, a sore throat

Will he recover in a ward all alone?

Will he recovеr?

He can't breathe without a machinе to carry the load

[Chorus]

It will be alright

It will be alright

[Outro]

We will remember

Your wicked sense of fun

We will remember

Now the circus has moved on

We will remember

Your last call was a song

We will remember

How to pass your spirit on
