I’ll Hug Back (thank you, Hamilton / Lin Manuel Miranda!)

Huggers – it won’t be long now (we hope!) till we can hug back again! I hope you enjoy this compilation of hugs and celebrations, with a few extras for Hamilton fans 🙂 Hang in there! I struggle along with you at not being able to hug as freely as before, but I promise you I’ll hug back again soon. Meanwhile, let’s stick together and look for ways to encourage one another as best we can. Thank you, Hamilton / Lin Manuel Miranda, for your great music! May God bless you, protect you, and give you peace!

Music: “You’ll be back” (Hamilton / Lin Manuel Miranda)

Words by me: Last year the price of a hug was a price we weren’t willing to pay. We cried in our tea ’cause we wanted to hug, yet also to be wise. We were sad. Remember when life became strange and got carried away? Now we soon will be glad – remember, despite separation, I’m right here. I’ll hug back soon, you’ll see. Please remember that when next we meet. I’ll hug back, post-vaccine. Please remember what you mean to me. Oceans rise, empires fall. We have seen each other through it all, and when push comes to shove, I will send a colorful emoji to remind you of my love. Da da da dat da, dat da da da dai ya da. Da da dat dat dai ya da! Da da da dat da, dat da da da dai ya da. Da da dat dat da! You say that COVID’s draining, and you can’t go on. It’s just no use complaining – it’s not yet gone. So, please let’s stick together through every kind of weather. We’ll try, and we’ll endeavor to hope for something better forever and ever and ever and ever and ever. I’ll hug back, like before. We will hold on tight, clasp arms once more, show our love, and embrace, and I’ll love you ’til my dying days. When this ends, we’ll rejoice, so don’t give up, make a worthy choice ’cause when push comes to shove, we will hug our friends and family to remind them of our love! Da da da dat da, dat da da da dai ya da. Da da dat dat dai ya da! Da da da dat da, dat da da da dai ya da. Da da dat dat da! Da da da dat da, dat da da da dai ya da. Da da dat dat dai ya da! Da da da dat da, dat da da da dai ya da. Da da dat dat dai ya da!
