about

I wrote this song a while back just after the war in Ukraine started. Really wasn't sure that I was going to do anything with it but, as things have escalated there, I decided I had to do SOMETHING!

lyrics

None of us can understand
The why's and wherefore's of your plan
Is it greed, is it power
Trampling the fields of these sunflowers

But the seeds that you have spread
Will be growing once again
Fed by the tears of those who mourn
All the lives that you have torn

We will rise up grow strong and tall
Our faces following the sun
You will never watch us fall
We will endure all you have done

Your blood is black, your heart is cold
No love rests inside your soul
You feed upon fear and pain
What comes to you will be the same

We will rise up grow strong and tall
Our faces following the sun
You will never watch us fall
We will endure all you have done

We will rise to watch you suffer
We will rise to watch you fall
We will rise
We will rise
We will rise above it all
