I, Stand With The Ukraine Poem by O. A.

I, Stand With The Ukraine

Ya molyusya za tebe

Invaded on home soil
By a regime under toil
Innocent Ukrainians killed for what! ?
As on the news we watch the bodies
Of neighbours and parents buried too
By the children of a God-forsaken war...
And I have to ask my western leaders:
What can we do to stop the massacre?

And as my sadness turns to anger now! ! !
And as my heart burns with a new rage! ! !
I am defiant in my quest to understand
The enemy of this awful bloody display
And all I ask of all of you here and now
Is that in your hearts, and souls we pray...
Is that in your hearts, and souls we pray...

I, Stand With The Ukraine
In the storm and pouring rain
In the sunshine and in any way
These heroes need us to pray
To send arms to pave the way

I, offer comfort to a people
Who want us to offer our help
Who want us to offer prayers
And if my homeland was theirs
I would stay and fight too
I would stand in arms way
To defend my country too
Over there...
Over there...

And as my sadness turns to anger now! ! !
And as my heart burns with a new rage! ! !
I am defiant in my quest to understand
The enemy of this awful bloody display
And all I ask of all of you here and now
Is that in your hearts, and souls we pray...
Is that in your hearts, and souls we pray...

I, Stand With The Ukraine
In the storm and pouring rain
In the sunshine and in any way
These heroes need us to pray
To send arms to pave the way

I, Stand With The Ukraine
As they fight for democracies
As they fight for their freedom
As they fight for their loved ones...
On a homefront destroyed by war
On a homefront ravaged in blood
On a homefront crying for the truth
That the world is behind them now
Unlike ever before, like me and you...
Unlike ever before, like me and you...

Invaded on home soil
By a regime under toil
Innocent Ukrainians killed for what! ?
As on the news we watch the bodies
Of neighbours and parents buried too
By the children of a God-forsaken war...
And I have to ask my western leaders:
What can we do to stop the massacre?

I, Stand With The Ukraine
In the storm and pouring rain
In the sunshine and in any way
These heroes need us to pray
To send arms to pave the way

So they can liberate their country:
NOT TOMORROW...
BUT TODAY.
