FOR UKRAINE
Lyrics by Hal Pollock
Now the people of Ukraine are faced
with terror at their door
A freedom loving people
who’ve faced tyranny before
They know that having freedom
is a thing worth fighting for
Now they’re showing all the world
who they are down at their core
Unbreakable
Though many bombs may fall
Unshakable
Through it all we’re standing tall
You may bomb all of our buildings
We’ll be answering the call
For our spirit will endure
And we will rise above it all
We will fight you in the fields
We will fight you in the streets
Till the last of us is standing
Till the last of you retreats
You can release the hounds of Hell
And we will spit right in your face
When the battle’s finally over
You will leave here in disgrace
You can kill a person’s body
Can commit a genocide
But the human spirit’s stronger
In this place where we reside
When it comes to love of country
When it comes to human pride
You can never kill the spirit
That a people hold inside
Till the enemy is vanquished
Here united we will stand
With the courage of a lion
We will drive you from our land
And until the battle’s won
We will be fighting until then
As we pay the cost of freedom
And are safe at home again
Unbreakable
Unshakable
The first line of defense
We give our lives for freedom
In a war that makes no sense
And though others
may be watching
From a safe and distant shore
You should know
if we don’t stop them here
They’re coming to your door
Let the people of the world
Hear the message that we send
Good will always conquer hate
And triumph in the end
And when the dust has settled
We’ll be stronger than before
And this must be the last time
That we all say never more
When the killing fields fall silent
When the healing shall begin
That’s when evil comes to know
It picked a fight it couldn’t win
For this was a war on freedom
We were just the first in line
All the world stands united
To protect what’s yours and mine
Unbreakable
Though many bombs may fall
Unshakable
Through it all we’re standing tall
You may bomb all of our buildings
We’ll be answering the call
For our spirit will endure
And we will rise above it all
