In That Moment

We are in that moment sweet darling 
The wonderment of pain is upon us 

The trees are going to wail as they grumble 
Soldiers footsteps will be heard as they fumble 

We are in that moment sweet loved one 
The horrendous flashback of pain will descend upon you 

You stood tall way back when 
But this is now, it is not back then

We are in that moment sweet planet 
A millions stars dance above us 

The earth cries out once more
The oceans scream like never before

We are in that moment sweet soldier 
Your heart will now beat like a drum in a March

Smoke your last roll up and soak in the air 
For soon it will be too painful to bear

We are in that moment sweet mother 
As your tears fall like rain from a leaf

Soldiers footsteps stamp on the ground 
Gunshots and bombs are the only sounds

We are in that moment sweet humanity

Pray for our world 
Pray our people 
Ukraine we love you 
We are all equal
