Mariupol (Live) - Dylan Woltz

Written and arranged by Dylan Woltz. Lyrics: A mother is crying today/ For a life that she loved has been stolen away/ A life that was taken too young/ Taken in blood at the hand of a gun/ In silence she’s left but to pray/ Hoping for a better today/ I walk on this Earth and I go my own way/ But it looks very cloudy in Ukraine// I look out my window upon western skies/ Everything silent to sovereignty’s cries/ These thoughts I can’t shake from my mind/ And all becomes ill with the passing of time/ The music that I hear today/ The joy of my life does not feel the same/ No longer relief or escape/ While blood’s being shed in Ukraine// Have I taken for granted what I’ve never lost/ For the innocent now that are paying the cost/ Can we turn an eye and sit idly by/ While others are dying out there// And sometimes this world can feel strange/ When we feel the need for a change/ Yearning for life as before/ A crying call was to be heard/ In fight for the names of the dead/ Terror is placed in our head/ The violence continues to spread/ Think of the blood being shed// Mariupol, they have no answer for/ Mariupol, what’s the answer for/ Mariupol, they have no answer for/ Mariupol, Mariupol// Bucha, Irpin// While the sun’s shining brightly in my town today/ It looks very cloudy in Ukraine/// For another angle: .
