Songy Song Song (The Funny Thing Is)
Channel: Julia Bloom
Date: 2020-05-02

Week 18 #songaweek2020. Cowritten with my son Silas Bloom. He mainly wrote the first verse and the title (which I promised I'd keep), and got me off to a good start on the rest of the song. Video taken with my phone by Nathan Bloom while I grabbed a quick minute to record. Life goes on!

The rain is falling
My life is calling
Why why corona
Would you do this to me?
My plans are forgotten
Swabbed away with cotton
Curse this pandemic
To the dark side of the moon

the funny thing is
I’m getting used to it
And the funny thing is
I used to think I wanted this 
to spend my days at home
Instead of punching in and out
But the funny thing is
Life goes on

Sunshine and flowers
Unscheduled hours
I’m free as a bird
Inside a luxurious cage
Masks on our faces
Tape marks our spaces
We’re in this together
Six feet apart

the funny thing is
you get used to it
and the funny thing is
we might have thought we wanted this
to spend our days at home
Instead of trudging through the world 
But the funny thing is
Life goes on

Curbside pickup
Virtual meetups 
Loved ones boxed up

The funny thing is
We never really know for sure
What’s coming down the pike
Or even what just happened
but the funny thing is
We keep getting up
And the funny thing is
Life goes on
