Music is the bond that unites us and the healing balm we need in this time and this is not lost on the soulful gospel artist, Recording Academy member and chef, Stephen John. Written and co- produced by Stephen John, he reminds us that in a time of uncertainty and death, we can overcome tragedy by helping one another for we are all in this together.

Times are so uncertain, so many people dying
What are we gonna do?
Our hearts are so uneasy, with fear of wars and disease,
That's all I hear on the news.
Looking out my window, how beautiful this world use to be.
Fear of Living, fear of dying
But I want you to know.
We're all, we're all in this together.
We're all, neighbours.
If I help you and you help me, we can overcome this tragedy.
Giving more, no more greed
We can overcome this tragedy.
2020 mind games, feelss like the world falling, what are we gonna do?
Virtual connections, but socially we're distant, I'm near but far from you.
Looking out my window, how beautiful this world used to be.
Fear of living, fear of dying.
But I want you to know.
We're all, in this together
We're all, neighbours
If I help you and you help me
We can overcome this tragedy.
