Kiev

My friends it's not what you were famous for But now the whole world's watching you If we could help you, then you know we would But we don't know just what to do Eye to eye, our ways are not the same We never tried to understand But it could pass to each of us your name Then who's the one to take the blame? Kiev, a candle with a flame You'll never be the same Our hearts go out to you And what you're going through They've thrown away your past Just like an empty glass Into the fire Someone wiser took the Steppe from you I'm sure with reason it was right But now it seems the whole world's blaming you And who's the one to put things right? Kiev, a candle with a flame You'll never be the same Our hearts go out to you And what you're going through They've thrown away your past Just like an empty glass Into the fire Oh, Kiev, a candle with a flame You'll never be the same We all will understand You're really not to blame They've thrown away your past Just like an empty glass Into the fire Oh, Kiev
