MARTA AND HER SON

Marta today dresses her ten year old son 
The day ahead will not be laughter and fun 
Water and candles taken to their cellar door
They look for sanctuary in the name of war

No fuel available for either car, van or truck 
The Ukrainian people are down on their luck
Food in supermarkets is in very short supply 
Marta's son asks his mother for a reason why 

Explosions are heard there's bombing overhead 
War will leave its mark many people will be dead
Marta explains that there's no place to hide 
As the world looks on helpless and horrified
