From the recording Captured Fragments
This song is based on a news clip that interviewed a teenager in the early stages of the Ukraine War. Five-year-old Andriy recounts to CNN's John Berman the moment his family was forced from their home at gunpoint in Chernihiv, Ukraine, and the attack that claimed his mother's life. Heart Breaking.

Andriy

V1
Right?
It ain't right
It ain't right
It ain't right
When fifteen year old ripped from his life
When his towns on fire and his mother just died
It ain't right
It ain't right
V2
you see
It's strange
That just a week before
Andriy was playing guitar with family
dark night
Dark night
He just want play his guitar now
And get through this dark night
Ch
And he just wanna go home
And he just wanna go home
And rebuild a city

He's the same age as my son
to see what he has been through.
it is just,
heart breaking
He said
I was supposed to be playing with my band at a concert…
instead I am here.
heart breaking
heart breaking
And I wanna go home
And I wanna go home
{instr}
Ch
And he just wanna go home
And he just wanna go home
And rebuild a city
Bridge
And want you to know that my mother was a beautiful woman
And want you to know that my mother was a beautiful friend
Ch
And I wanna go home
And I wanna go home
Heart breaking
Outro
And I wanna go home
And I wanna go home
Heart breaking
And I wanna go home
And I wanna go home
