In quarantine, Italians sang from their windows to each other to keep joy and hope alive during the Covid crisis. This inspired me. We're going to need to light fires of hope in our hearts daily. I hope this song helps.

lyrics

So it has finally come, the moment we find what we’re all made of
a simple reckoning that everyone now has to face
and you can choose a path of fear to walk, or one paved with love
it’s time to look into the mirror, decide which path to take

Cuz you know, you know somewhere in your heart
there’s still a light that can burn in the dark
Just listen, darling, Italians they are singing from their windows

It hurts, It hurts, yeah - there’s gonna be tears
but each time you want to give into fear
Just listen, darling, Italians they are singing from their windows

It looks like every hill we’ve climbed prepared us for this mountain
And now that we are all inside, it’s time we make a plan
And although you feel all alone, please know you are surrounded
surrounded by those who are doing everything they can, everything they can

You know, you know yeah - that you’re not alone
I’m right here with you in the unknown
And somewhere out there, Italians they are singing from their windows

It’s hard, It’s hard now to find any hope
But one thing that I think you should know
That in their grief, Italians they were singing from their windows

Oh………

You know, You know what you need to do
Just listen, darling, I’m singing to you
For in my heart, Italians they are singing from their windows

And this time, this time yeah we gotta be strong
so if you can, come on hum along
For we can make it, Italians they are singing from their windows
