Let it go, let it go Young Amelia sings from a bunker below Sweetly fierce so all may know Her people will not be silenced Ukraine's children, some motherless, flee While Russians who protest peacefully Are jailed for their decency Love is flight and fight against this violence Soldiers are killing but can't call it War Failing to grasp what they're dying for Told they would be welcomed for sure Unwitting harbingers of Putin's pestilence Simple strollers on Polish platforms greet rattled refugees Tired tots, weary women, infirmed and elderly In spite of our hearts' darkness, beams humble humanity For past debts, future's promise, may we offer recompense Let it be, let it be May better angels help us See No more in the mirror dimly Face to Face, clearly now, Love's perfect Common Sense
Amen
