When <strong>Lockdown</strong> is over<br />
When <strong>Lockdown</strong> is over,<br />
When all is said and done,<br />
I will go out dancing,<br />
Dancing in the smiling Sun,<br />
I will take my shoes off,<br />
And feel the grass between my feet,<br />
Under the Oak tree, wizened like a crone,<br />
My friends and I will meet,<br />
We will talk about the changes,<br />
And things that we have seen,<br />
Reassuring each other that things will get better,<br />
Because there’s no more quarantine,<br />
New-borns can meet their families,<br />
Lovebirds can finally tie the knot,<br />
Support groups can meet face to face,<br />
Charities can continue their invaluable work from the place that they left off,<br />
We will hug all of our neighbours,<br />
And paint rainbows on every door,<br />
For finally, after all of this time,<br />
Life, once halted and frozen, can go on once more<br />
