Lyrics of Suddenly

Suddenly the world is changing
What is going on?
What is happening to the world?
What is going wrong?

Quietly it came in the night
Without so much as a warning
Planting its evil deep and firm
Before the light of the morning

What had just happened? What had just gone wrong?
The evil virus had come calling
Their wealth wiped out and completely gone
The high and mighty have all now fallen

Suddenly the world is changing
What is going on?
What is happening to the world?
What is going wrong?

With the dawn has come a whole new game
That will take place in stormy weather
The playing field has been leveled
And we are all in this mess together

Our leaders have told us please, please stay indoors
Work from home if you can and limit your trips to the stores
Stay inside, they said, until this scourge has ended
Pray for all of mankind, they said, until the world has mended

Being inside together oh so much
We talk the whole evening through
But sometimes you don't talk to me at all
Nor do I talk to you

You sit in the warm glow of your reading lamp
And I in my easy chair
When suddenly I realize it's all I could ever want
Just to know that you are there
