I wear my mask for you.
You wear your mask for me.
Together we stay safe,
Together distantly. I don't breathe on you.
You don't breathe on me.
We watch out for each other.
We act responsibly. Masks protect the air we share.
Wearing masks means that we care
About what things we do
Might do to others. Masks make us safer, you and me,
So I act not as I, but we,
Knowing that we're all in this
Together. I wear my mask for you.
You wear your mask for me.
Together we stay safe,
Together distantly.
