Your conscious efforts, your spirits,
drawing each of them to you daily,
A Moment of Honor, a Minute of Silence,
stopping as a people, a nation...
You honor their service, their sacrifice,
the memory of each hero,
those who have paid the price...
drawing each of them to you daily,
A Moment of Honor, a Minute of Silence,
stopping as a people, a nation...
You honor their service, their sacrifice,
the memory of each hero,
those who have paid the price...
Because of all of you
They live though they have fallen...
Though they have been taken from you...
Because of all of you... They live...
for your nation, for Ukraine...
Their memory is not forgotten...
Your best sons and daughters
taken too young from you...
You hold each of them closely,
They are as close as breath...
They live though they have fallen...
Though they have been taken from you...
Because of all of you... They live...
