Olena Lyrics

Olena olena

Heard the news and left Ukraine

Packed her suitcase and her children

Headed for a safer place

Bombs are falling

Tanks go passing

Soldiers marching everywhere

Sirens warning of explosions

People run and heroes fall

Holds back her tears

they can't know she scared

Olena olena olena remembers the day

The day

Says goodbye and they're gone

Through the night and day

And they don't know if they'll see their home again

Staring out at the stars

Where no-one knows her name

They make their great escape

From Ukraine

They're stepping on the plane

Wherever she goes there's a whole in her heart

She's a light from the land that's been left in the dark

Oh but she's safe here

Holds back her tears, they can't know she's scared

Olena olena olena

It's gonna be OK

Says goodbye and they're gone

Through the night and day

And they don't know if they'll see their home again

Staring up at the stars

Where no-one knows her name

She makes her great escape

From Ukraine

They're stepping off of the plane

Marching with her babies

The soldiers are still fighting

The mother and their saviour

But now she's gotta start again

Oh I wish they'd end this war

So hold on

Hold on yeah

Hold on

Be strong

So Strong Yeah

Stay Strong strong yeah

Hold on

Ukraine
