The incredible Leeroy brings his powerful lyrics, moving voice, soaring lead and more to this one. The backing instrumental is me. A tribute to the children of Ukraine.

I don't know what happened to the comments there, sorry about that.

If you don't already know the brilliant Leeroy you gotta check him and support him, for real

Thank you, Leeroy. A true honour to work with you, brother.

Lyrics:

Straining my eyes
I wake up again
to the sound of bombs
Falling like rain

As the tide comes in
I wait for change...
again

On the corner
A girl stands waiting
Perhaps her life
Won't end in pain

She missed her chance
While serving others
again

Months have past
The rubbles still here
It's becoming routine
To live with this fear

A soldier hits a boy
Nothing to see here ...at all

On a minefield
The kids play soccer
Perhaps their life will
Start again

They missed their youth
Being scared of others
Again

On the corner
A girl stands waiting
Perhaps her life
Won't end in pain

She missed her chance
While serving others
Again
