Every day every day just seems the same All work, all play, stuck inside the same four walls Eyes hazy, sinking in a dream I watch, I stare for hours at this laptop screen As the time turns to five o’clock I put on my shoes and head down the stairs Gradually unravelling my day of thoughts and cares I open up the door to see, Oh and it reminds me sweet relief Of my freedom oh The birds still sing And the wind still blows it’s steady song The sun’s still shining And the leaves on the trees will still fall As planet keeps turning the flowers still bloom When the world is closed You’re still working through The days feel like the months feel like days Time slipped by, I blinked and March turned to May In seconds the world turned upside down No more face-to-face, no more crowded streets for now Something that has kept me sane In this unsettled uncertainty Despite my limitations of adhering to restrictions Open up the door and see, Yes and it reminds me sweet relief Of my freedom oh The birds still sing And the wind still blows it’s steady song The sun’s still shining And the leaves on the trees will still fall As planet keeps turning the flowers still bloom When the world is closed You’re still working through

about

Self-confessed wayfaring singer-songwriter Ellyn Oliver, like many during lockdown in 2020 found herself stuck, staring at the monotonous four walls of her tenement flat in Glasgow instead of the wide open roads of Scotland or cheering faces of the audiences that she was starting to enjoy in the exciting early stages of her career. A source of joy and sanctuary to the mental struggle of lockdown was her daily walks around the local streets. Watching the lush growth around her bloom and fade, she was awakened to remember that the world keeps turning, and that God is still in control and working despite her circumstances.
