Raging heart

Never did the wind sound so like fighter jets Nor the thunder so like bombs Never did the stranger seem like such a threat Nor my neighbour, so like a friend Mortars blazing out on the front Neighbouring cities under fire All is quiet in my home town All except my raging heart My raging heart calls out, why oh why, My raging heart cries out, could I Be doing something else to send them from our shores And my blood it runs, yellow and blue Though my eyes see only black and red And my raging heart keeps demanding more Air raid siren calls to prayer Rockets tear across the sky Somehow we're still in the clear Keep on working, no time to cry Block long queues at the blood bank, At the petrol station too Walk my dog beneath the sirens Join him howling at the moon My raging heart calls out, why oh why, My raging heart cries out, could I Be doing something else to send them from our shores And my blood it runs, yellow and blue Though my eyes see only black and red And my raging heart keeps demanding more Venya drove to Lysychansk Taking food and fuel and drones Vasya came back from Kharkiv Whole busload of folks with no homes Valya says she's headed back Back to bombed out Chernihiv Not much there, but it's all she has And there's still no shooting, down her street My raging heart calls out, why oh why My raging heart cries out, could I Be doing something else to send them from our shores And my blood it runs, yellow and blue Though my eyes see only black and red And my raging heart keeps demanding more Never did the wind sound so like fighter jets Nor the thunder so like bombs Never did the stranger seem like such a threat Nor my neighbour, so like a friend
