about

This track was created in the last month during the stay-at-home order during the COVID-19 pandemic at Phil's studio on Martha's Vineyard (www.printshopaudio.com).

The song is sort of a tribute to everyone who is going through loss during this crazy time, and also has sort of a note to the powers-that-be about not acting fast enough to ensure the safety of our citizens. All in all, I suppose it's a reminder to everyone, including myself I guess, that we're all in this together and to try and stay positive, and remember those that are dealing with horrible tragedy right at this moment in time.

lyrics

Won't Be the Same - Lyrics
By Phil daRosa

For every body down, there is somebody who mourns them...
For every mournful frown, there is a deed that turns it ‘round.

When we fall, we can see each other, and see we’re all the same…
But when we fall, we can choose to blame…
Can he get up, can she get up, can they get up and walk again? … can they get up and walk again?

Every night, every day, someone… says goodbye, and ok I’ll meet you at the gate.
Every dawn, every day, there’s more than one, that wish upon a star, and prays the next won’t be the same.

For every greedy crown, there is somebody needing.
For every dying pawn, there is a rich man grazing on.

We were down and needy, then you showed us all your way…
You were a clown and greedy, when it came.
But he’ll get up, she’ll get up, we’ll get up and walk again… Yeh, we’ll get up and walk again!

Every night, every day, someone… says goodbye, and ok I’ll meet you at the gate.
Every dawn, every day, there’s more than one, that wish upon a star, and prays the next won’t be the same.

Every night, every day, someone… says goodbye, and ok I’ll meet you at the gate.
Every dawn, every day, there’s more than one, that wish upon a star, and prays the next won’t be the same.
