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 you 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       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 Kiev
