about

I have been shocked and angered by the inhumane atrocities being committed against Ukrainian people. I have also been inspired by their incredible courage. A friend of mine wrote to me and asked if I could write a song for him to share with his friends fighting in the war and doing activism work in Ukraine. I promised I would try.

All profits from this single release will be donated to UNICEF.

lyrics

When all is said and done,
Yeah, You will be the mud,
We cast our seed upon,
And we will be, We will be the sun.
We will be the sun,
We will be the sun,
We will be the sun,


The flowers in the vase,
Wither by the end of day,
Go back from whence you came,
Or find an early grave

For every orphaned child,
May you die 10,000 times
Your name stain history,
Our people,
Our people will be free,
Our people will be free,
Our people will be free,
Our people will be free,
Our people will be free,
Our people will be free,
Our people will be free

GTR SOLO!

When all is said and done,
You will be the mud,
We cast our seeds upon,
And we will be, we will be the sun.

yeah, we will be the sun,
we will be the sun,
we will be the sun

That pulls the flowers up,
To the blue and yellow sky,
The Truth come out in time,
Your name stain history,
Dwarfed by our bravery,
Our People, Our people will be free,
Our people will be free
Our people will be free
Our people will be free
Our people will be free
