(Melody: This Train is Bound for Glory)
On the First Anniversary of the Russian Invasion
By Laurie Baron
SAN DIEGO — Ukraine is bound for glory, Ukraine.
Winning a war so gory, Ukraine.
Ukraine will prove greater.
Beat the invader and its dictator.
Ukraine is bound for glory, Ukraine.
Ukraine has a smaller army, Ukraine.
Ukraine has fewer weapons, Ukraine.
Putin was iron fisted.
Ukraine persisted and resisted.
Ukraine is bound for glory, Ukraine.
Ukraine needs more jet planes, Ukraine.
To mount its next campaigns, Ukraine.
Ukraine fights to be free.
Heed the plea from Zelensky.
Ukraine is bound for glory, Ukraine.
