When Bombs Fall (Ukrainians Rise) Lyrics

When missiles strike

And our neighborhoods burn

Musicians and teachers

Turn into soldiers

I saw our children

Face down in the mud

Saw their teddy bears

Covered in blood

One might ask why

One might be a fool

They don't teach questions

In their authoritative schools

Trumpets and the trombones

Blast this victory song

Bass drums and the snares

boom boom boom marching on

When bombs fall

The drums beat on

When guns fire

The anthem is sung

When bombs fall

Innocent die

When buildings crumble

Ukrainians rise

Good nations everywhere

Help us defend

With honor on our side

Shame and madness are with them

But fight alone we must

Against this giant beast

Never giving up

Willing to die to be free

More resilient than they thought

More powerful than they know

In this moment together

We are all superheroes

Our soldiers in the trenches

Feeding on revenge

For the monsters who did this

It's the beginning of their end

When bombs fall

And sirens wail

Cowardly missiles

Ultimately fail

Planes zoom by

Drones rain down

We rise like the sun

Above the madness around

Mariupol Odessa

Our ports to the sea

Kyiv and Kharkov

Lands of ancient history

They stole Crimea

Demolished Donbas

Executed civilians

In the streets in cold blood

We are wheat farmers

Who feed the world

We are scientists and artists

Raising little boys and girls

We are inspired by

Our heroes and saints

We fight

Together

Forever

Ukrainians Rise

Ukraine
