Backstory:

Wrote this during the plandemic.  Got some grief for it but I wouldn't change a thing about the message.                                                                            

Lyrics:

His family thinks he's crazy
A duck of odd persuasions
A man who'll seldom bend to a social trend
He won't pretend
A strange anachronism prone to claim a major schism
'Tween the way things were
And the way they just might end

Sometimes he questions his own sanity
Could it be
He remembered it all wrong?
Were those “Good old days” just  fantasies
Played on bright marquees
Songs with melodies

Is he THE ONLY ONE
Who still recalls all the battles won
And won't retreat and watch his world undone...

Used to be the neighbors
Would often stop and chat the weather
Now he doesn't see them much at all
They never call
They've joined some congregation
A strict denomination 
Of cloth covered faces
Kids and all

Perhaps they've forgotten all the lessons learned,
Just lost sight 
Of the light that guides us all
He'll pray that close harmonies
Will soon return 
And set them free

And that, 
He's not THE ONLY ONE
Who still recalls all the battles won
And won't retreat and watch this world undone...
