Freedom (The Ballad of Ukraine)
Cry with me now
For light's turned to darkness
Cry with me now
Cause joy's turned to pain
Tell me just how
The world stood by watching
While skies have turned black
Over lands of Ukraine
A week ago, I was dreaming
Enjoying life in the sun
I never thought that I'd be screaming
Or living life by the gun
No one thought this could be
An old friend turns to foe
But we were too blind to see
The insecurities grow
Fight with me now
We'll fight for our freedom
We'll fight for our lives
To the very last man
The cost will be high
The blood of our nation
But we'll see the sun rise
A free people again
Maybe this was not a perfect heaven
But now it's definitely hell
Does no one care about our children
Or all the heroes that fell
Stand tall and be proud
We'll ensure that they fail
We'll sing it out loud
And love will prevail
Lie with me now
My life's almost over
But I'm seeing the sun
As I slip away
Come fly with me now
I can finally taste freedom
Just close your eyes
And you'll see it one day
For light's turned to darkness
Cry with me now
Cause joy's turned to pain
Tell me just how
The world stood by watching
While skies have turned black
Over lands of Ukraine
A week ago, I was dreaming
Enjoying life in the sun
I never thought that I'd be screaming
Or living life by the gun
No one thought this could be
An old friend turns to foe
But we were too blind to see
The insecurities grow
Fight with me now
We'll fight for our freedom
We'll fight for our lives
To the very last man
The cost will be high
The blood of our nation
But we'll see the sun rise
A free people again
Maybe this was not a perfect heaven
But now it's definitely hell
Does no one care about our children
Or all the heroes that fell
Stand tall and be proud
We'll ensure that they fail
We'll sing it out loud
And love will prevail
Lie with me now
My life's almost over
But I'm seeing the sun
As I slip away
Come fly with me now
I can finally taste freedom
Just close your eyes
And you'll see it one day
