Where our hope

PKP
Therein lies our hope
that the outbreak will be contained,
that the disease will go away
soon.

PKP PKPB PKPP
Where we cling to hope
for the situation to improve,
for fewer people
to be infected

PKP PKPB PKPP PKPD
Whatever remains of our hope
fades away slowly
almost surely

as more and more,
yet more and more
and more and more,
and even more

people fall prey
to this invisible and
invincible disease

PKP PKPP PKP PKPB PKP PKPD
Where is our hope?

Where our hope
