fayden walker - iryna zarutska lyrics

verse 1
iryna zarutska sat by the window
evening train humming soft and low
work+worn hands, a tired smile
just counting the stops till she’d be home
city lights in the glass went by
another long day finally done
she was minding her own business
like anyone, like everyone

pre+chorus
no armor on her, no reason to fear
just a quiet ride, just getting clear

chorus
she should be here, she should be breathing
another name the world shouldn’t know
taken by hatred, fed by racism
by someone who never should’ve been let go
say her name, don’t let it fade
she was more than a headline, more than the pain
iryna zarutska, we remember you
and we won’t call this normal, we won’t call it okay

verse 2
she had plans that night, small and simple
food on the stove, tomorrow to face
life doesn’t warn you when it’s stolen
in an ordinary, public place
a stranger’s rage, a system asleep
a door left open that should’ve been closed
and the cost was paid by someone innocent
who never even knew the danger was close
pre+chorus
this isn’t fate, this isn’t chance
it’s what happens when we excuse the past

bridge
no more silence, no looking away
no shrinking the truth to make it feel safe
lock the doors that danger walks through
call racism out for what it does
justice isn’t revenge or rage
it’s protecting lives before they’re taken away

final chorus
she should be here, she should be living
not a lesson we learn too late
every ride home should be a promise
not a gamble with someone’s fate
say her name, let it ring true
for the life she lived, for the future she lost
iryna zarutska, this song is for you
and for every life hatred has cost
