Ukraine
The sutures to the future are fast fraying
the ties that bind are knot by not untying
In bombed-out churches, the faithful are praying.
In makeshift camps, orphan children are crying
as night terrors fill dreams, which no child should know
the ties that bind are knot by naught untying.
No conscience tempers the occupying foe
yet though battered, resistance united stands
while enemy's rations and spirit grow low.
United all rise to defend sovereign land
hold steadfast against this Russian invasion
and though battered, resistance united stands,
With free nations' support and cooperation,
the Ukraine may emerge to a victorious day
and hold fast against Russian annexation.
As the sutures to the future cease fraying
in rebuilt churches, the faithful are praying.
With free nations' support and cooperation,
the Ukraine shall long remain a free nation.
