How would we know such evil existed
should we have known such evil existed?

I heard them shout
we must help Ukraine;
I heard them debate
how can we help Ukraine;
I heard them whisper
there is no way to help Ukraine.

20,000 dead in Mariupol

Are we allowed to grieve
how can we mourn; we did not dwell with them 

20,000 dead in Mariupol

I had to pay some pennies more
each time I filled up the tank, but

20,000 dead in Mariupol

We arm; we sent aid
we raise our voices in outrage to such a tragedy, but still

20,000 dead in Mariupol

We send rockets; we fly drones
ammunition is abundant, but yet

20,000 dead in Mariupol

They hid in a steel plant with no light of day
Babies and children with moms
Abandoned by dads in war and so

20,000 dead in Mariupol
