lyrics

Blue and Gold

I saw your flag raised on a pole
I saw it hung from high windows
I saw it as a woven charm
Wrapped around your children's arms

Ukraine

I saw it in the early dawn
Flying over the Maidon
A widow placed one on a shrine
It was one of hundreds in a line

Ukraine

I even saw it on tv
Alongside the word victory
Pinned fast to your soldiers chests
And draped over their machine gun nests

It hit me on a speeding train
Shooting cross gold fields of grain
Blue and gold on an endless plane
I was starring at your flag Ukraine

Ukraine
