Dedicated to the people who lost their lives at the Winter Cherry mall in Kemerovo. May this song live with the families who are living such a terrible tragedy. All my respect and love goes out to them.
lyrics
It's minus 3 outside the door
We're taking time off at the nearest store
We're telling stories the little ones demand
About a winter cherry warming up our hands
Kemerovo, Kemerovo
Why did you let our children go?
Kemerovo, Kemerovo
Why didn't you let our families grow?
We'll get some groceries, some bread
Should we go home or to the cinema instead?
Mum had no coins left in her purse
Together, we walked out the first
Kemerovo, Kemerovo
Why did you let our children go?
Kemerovo, Kemerovo
Why didn't you let our families grow?
We'll ask our parents and our friends:
'Why did the movie stop before the end?'
They said they'd play it all again
The question is not 'if' but 'when?'
