Together Unlocked! Anthems

Perpetual Emotion (chorus) – an original song by Robin Surgeoner aka Angry Fish.

Hope prevails, pandemic defeater
Virus is strong but love is greater
Friendship’s bonds that last forever
Humanity saved let’s work together

May your heart keep calling in perpetual emotion
People of the world unite in the notion
Together is the future, together is the way
Together is the promise we need every day.

We Will Survive
Words by Angry Fish to the tune of ‘I will survive’

First I was afraid, I was petrified
Kept thinking I could never live with Covid locked inside
Then I spent so many nights thinking how I could be strong
Kicking back, believing life can carry on

Then we found ways in digital space
We just learned that there are many ways to help communicate
We didn’t need to change our outlook, didn’t need to find a key
All we need is some hope because hope can set us free

And so now go, secure your doors
Just accept the fact that just for now, no visitors anymore
We’re not trying to be mean, not trying to hurt you with goodbyes
We will fight corona virus; we won’t just lay down and die

Oh now go we will survive
As long as we stay safe and stay locked down home inside
We’ve got all our lives to live, we’ve got all our love to give
We will survive, we will survive, hey hey

Instrumental / percussion break (All join in have something to hand to hit bang blow etc…)

Let’s use all the strength we have not to fall apart
Keep trying hard at keeping fit for a healthy heart
You could spend your locked-in nights just feeling sorry for yourselves
Or we could brave the isolation and break free from our shells

We will emerge like butterflies do
All beautiful and flighty with all your lives ahead of you
So if you feel like dropping in I’ll politely say please leave
We are saving all our anti-bac to ensure our food’s germ free

And so now go, secure your doors
Just accept the fact that just for now, no visitors anymore
We’re not trying to be mean, not trying to hurt you with goodbyes
We will fight corona virus; we won’t just lay down and die

Oh now go we will survive
As long as we stay safe and stay locked down home inside
We’ve got all our lives to live, we’ve got all our love to give
We will survive, we will survive, hey hey

Oh now go we will survive
As long as we stay safe and stay locked down home inside
We’ve got all our lives to live, we’ve got all our love to give
We will survive, we will survive, hey hey…
