Mariupol
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
