Distant Hope
Distant Hope
Ukraines blue and yellow flag
For its azure skies and wheat laden fields
Colours of freedom and hope
And gratitude for what the land yields
Those same blue skies now shrouded in darkness
Lives torn apart, destruction all around
Tall sunflowers left to dwindle and die
As evil tentacles reach out and abound
Women and children flee as bombs rain down
Husbands, fathers, sons stay to fight
Brave men led by their fearless leader
The enemy forges on with all its might
But Ukraines resolve and spirit lives on
Determination etched in their hearts
They will not give up their land easily
They will fight till the enemy departs
As the world watches on holding its breath
We pray that they continue to resist
Those that try to destroy their souls
And wish them to no longer exist
We hope and pray that victory will be theirs
We wish there was more we could do
To help Ukraine overcome adversity
And return to the life they once knew
