I Want to Go Back To School

Brother John Brother John 

When will we go back to school?

It has been two years 

Covid is everywhere, Covid is everywhere 

A peep peep here and a pop pop there 

When will we go back to school? 

We are fed up with technology!

Laptop hurts my eyes

But I have mastered G- Suite, Microsoft Office 

I miss my school bus ride and the playground 

But I get to try my hand on other activities 

I miss my teachers and friends 

But spend more time with my granny to listen to her stories 

I feel happy, I feel sad 

Happy that I have my family around 

Mom and Dad help me 

My little brother makes me smile 

Wish this Covid goes away 

Give us all back the sway

I Want to Go Back TO School

Brother John Brother John 

When will we go back to school?

It has been two years 

Covid is everywhere Covid is everywhere 

A Peep Peep here and a pop pop there 

When will we go back to school? 

We are fed up of the technology!!

Laptop hurts my eyes

But I have mastered G- Suite, Microsoft Office 

I miss my school bus ride and the playground 

But I get to try my hand on other activities 

I miss my teachers and friends 

But spend more time with my granny to listen to her stories 

I feel happy, I feel sad 

But happy that I have my family around 

Mom and Dad help me 

My little brother makes me smile 

Wish this Covid goes away 

Give us all back the sway
