Beneath the mask, a silent smile
Hidden from the world’s keen gaze
In every breath and every mile
We live through these uncertain days

Eyes become the voice we speak
A language old, yet newly found
In their depth, the secrets leak
Of hearts that beat without a sound

Each covered face tells a tale
Of kindness, fear, and unspoken care
Behind the veil, we prevail
United in the need to share

The mask, a shield, a silent friend
In its fold, we place our trust
Until the day this storm will end
And reveal the smiles once more, we must
