My husband belongs to a group where people from all over the world share a photo of what it looks like outside their window. He had seen one recently from the Ukraine, and we wondered what do they see now.
View From the Window

A view of the Ukraine
Such a peaceful lovely sight
Now nobody can know
The depth of the pain
With such despair and fright
Chorus
What's now to be the view they see
When they're hiding underground
What now will the future be
With weapons of war all around?
With such weapons of war...all around
There were birds and the sky
Through the window glass
Now there's just dark concrete walls
No one understands why
Will this war ever pass
Can anyone hear their calls
Repeat chorus

Great lyrics and use of a window in a song!

I found this song via the #ukraine songs thread - since I had written one I was curious as to what others were writing. These are wonderful lyrics and I hope to hear this performed one day. Thank you for writing this.

What a great view of things. Love the parallel structure too. Well said.

I really like the chorus, so thoughtful and sad, but I loved the point of view of the write.
