Dambreaker During the beginning of a global pandemic and the early stages of such, singer-songwriter Mandy Prater reminds us with just two simple words that it is hard but it is not the end. This track in my opinion deserves to be way up there with the other songs and tales of warning. Soft and simple but very compelling are Prater's vocals.

about

I wrote this song in the spring of 2020 during stay-at-home orders of March and April. It was recorded and mixed in my home studio in Austin, TX.

lyrics

is now the time
to run before we crawl
maybe it's a time to pause
or do nothing at all

is now the time
to say it’s not enough
keep playing the odds
keep testing the gods

but the beauty in waiting
is a little more certainty
keep calm
keep cool my baby
tough it out with me

we got the rest of our lives
to run wild in the streets
for now you’re gonna sit there
patiently


is now the time
to try to have it all
you gotta have probable cause
or have a reason to call

is now the time
to try to raise the bar
to take it all the way
can you love someone from afar

'cuz what i’m anticipating
is a little more certainty
keep calm,
keep cool, my baby
stare down hell with me
we got the rest of our lives
to run wild in the streets
for now you’re gonna sit there
patiently
