History Will Remember
by Donna Ashworth
and music by Lou Soileau


History will remember when the world stopped
And the flights stayed on the ground
And the cars parked in the street,
And the trains didn’t run.

History will remember when the schools closed
And the children stayed indoors
And the medical staff walked towards the fire
And they didn’t run.

History will remember when the world stopped
And when it started once again,
And remember when the silence turned to laughter
And reached out to hug each newfound friend,
Yes, history will remember.
History will remember.

History will remember when the people sang
On their balconies, in isolation
But so very much together,
In courage and song.

History will remember when the people fought
For their old and their weak
Protected the vulnerable
By doing nothing at all.

History will remember when the world stopped
And, when it started once again,
And remember when the silence turned to laughter
And reached out to hug each newfound friend,
Yes, history will remember.
History will remember.

(spoken with no music)
History will remember when the virus left
And the houses opened
And the people came out
And hugged and kissed
And started again.
(pause)
Kinder than before.

Kinder than before.
Kinder than before.
Kinder than before.
Kinder than before.

Yes, history will remember….
