My Mask Will Go On Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Life before was a dream
I'd see you, breathe on you
How I cringe at how it went wrong
We must keep a distance
A safe space between us
Days of poor hygiene are gone

[Chorus 1]
Stay far, whoever you are
If in public, a mask should go on
Before, I'd laugh at this chore
Now let's all play our part
So my mask will go on - stay on

[Verse 2]
I could cough just one time
And destroy your lifeline
Even though my symptoms were none
Yes, I'll care about you
I don't need to know you
To ensure I don't pass it on

[Chorus 2]
Bizarre - how selfish they are!
It won't hurt when you're out to wear one
(And no, your rights aren't gone)
One more, it's far from a chore
Show you care in your heart
Time to start putting a mask on
[Chorus 3]
Not fear - just common sense here
How could helping each other be wrong?
(And act so small - put it on!)
We'll stay the virus this way
Keep us safe with a mask
When in public, put your mask on!
Ooh
Ooh
