Ukraine (Never Apart)

The light in the window glows
A candle burns tonight
Brief shadow on the corner wall
Cast from a brighter light
She holds her dear child tight
Wraps her arms around his heart
Listens to his voice as he whispers
Mommy, we'll never be apart

The sounds from the street below
Are not what we used to hear
Rumbles like the thunder in the distance
Slowly moving nearer
She holds her dear child close
Wraps her arms around his heart
Listens to his voice as he whispers
Mommy, we'll never be apart

She joins together with them in the square
Mothers, daughters, children, kneeling saying a prayer for peace
Sirens sounding missiles fill the air
Helpless, hoping but with no refrain
Praying, pleading, begging for peace in Ukraine today
The sky exploding with a fiery rain

The lights in the city dim
A candle keeps the glow
The silence of the deep unknown
The ugly metal monsters roll
She holds her dear child tight
Wraps her arms around his heart
Listens to his voice as he whispers
Mommy, we'll never be apart

She joined together with them in the square
Mothers, daughters, children kneeled and said a prayer for peace
Sirens sounded missiles filled the air

Helpless, hoping but with no refrain
Praying, pleading, begging for peace in Ukraine today
The sky exploded with a fiery rain

The window with the candle's gone
The darkness swallowed it whole
The glow is from the rubble now
War's robbed so many souls
She held her dear child close
Wrapped her arms around his heart
Listened to his voice when he'd whisper
Mommy, we'll never be apart

A crumbled building in the smoke-filled air
Mommy and her little boy no longer here in this life
Mommy and her little boy forever, never apart
