We Cannot Fail (A song for Ukraine) – MEHTA

We can’t take no more, our freedoms hanging by a thread,
They won’t talk or reason they just smile and turn their head,
History repeating but they have a choice,
To listen to the morals of their inner voice,

Chorus
We cannot fail,
Get up, lend a hand to ease the strain,
We cannot fail,
Get up, lend a hand, it’s got to change,
We cannot fail

A hurricane of violence with a nuclear threat,
A dying planet burns under the last sunset,
Families ripped apart with this insanity,
We’re crying out for peace for all humanity

Chorus
We cannot fail,
Get up, lend a hand to ease the pain,
We cannot fail,
Get up, lend a hand, it’s got to change,
We cannot fail.

Calling all our angels,
Who have died to keep our freedoms alive,

Chorus
We cannot fail,
Get up, lend a hand to ease the pain,
We cannot fail,
Get up, lend a hand, it’s got to change,
We cannot fail, we must no fail, we cannot fail.
