KTH



I live in Ukraine where I grow wheat.
I have six children.
My life's been sweet.

I don't remember U.S.S.R.
We have our freedom.
It's who we are.

You are invaders.
This is my home.
I will not leave here.
I'll die alone.

We have all that you have.
Mountains, lakes, and streams.
We take vacations.
We have our dreams.

The invasion took all that.
In the course of days.
Our farms are on fire.
Our cities in a haze.

You are invaders.
This is my home.
I will not leave here.
I'll die alone.

I love my city.
We call it Kyiv.  (pronounced Keave)
You have your city.
I have my city.
I will not leave,.

We are surrounded.
No air support.
I'm out of good news.
I can report.

So one last time
Drink to my health.
My words for Putin
Go kill yourself.
