Tonight they're shutting down the borders
And they boarded up the schools
Small towns are rolling up their sidewalks
One last paycheck coming through

I know you're feeling kind of nervous
We're all a little bit confused
Nothing's the same, this ain't a game
We got to make it through

As we wave outside the windon
Older loved ones stay inside
Moms and babies blowing kisses
May be saving
Someones life

They had to cancel graduation
It ain't fair to skype the prom
Our kids sit home in isolation
Tv news is always on

When you can't do what you do
You do what you can
This ain't my prayer
Is just a thought I'm wanting to send

Round here we bend but don't break
Down here we all understand
When you can't do what you do
You do what you can

The chicken farm from Arkansas
bought workers P. P. E
Not before 500 more fad succumbed to this disease
Honest men and honest women
Working for an honest wage
I got a hundred point 1 fever
And we still got bills to pay

When you can't do what you do
You do what you can
This ain't my prayer
Is just a thought I'm wanting to send

Round here we bend but don't break
Down here we all understand
When you can't do what you do
You do what you can

They built a hospital on East Meadow
In Central Park Last Night
Doctors, nurses, truckers, grocery store clerks
Manning the front lines

I saw a red cross on the Hudson
They turned off the Broadway lights
Another ambulance screams by
There by the grace of god
Go I

Althoug I'll keep my social distance
What this world need is a hug
Until we find the vaccination, there's no substitute for love
So love yourself, and love your family
Love your neighbour and your friend
Ain't it time we love the stranger
They're just a friend you ain't met yet

When you can't do what you do
You do what you can
This ain't my prayer
Is just a thought I'm wanting to send

Round here we bend but don't break
Down here we all understand
When you can't do what you do
You do what you can
When you can't do what you do
You do what you can
