I heard from a friend of a friend, who is a stranger to me
That the dreaded COVID virus is spreading from sea to sea
By people who don’t feel comfort in getting their shot for free
Because to them there is no price to climb their freedom tree.
But now my grandson’s got it, in a land that’s far away
He got his two vaccines; did his duty on that day
Now I believe in freedom, it’s important to have our say
But since we’re all connected, your infection makes us pay.
If you’re a person without your shot
That’s great, that’s fine and I love you a lot
But maybe along with your freedom to not
The payment for you is to stay in your cot.
Don’t go around infecting the crowd
’Cause I heard it’s non-vaxxers with voices aloud
Who are breathing the virus on family and friends
So, please stay inside till this nightmare ends.
