I Do (A Wedding in Odesa) Lyrics

She walks down the street

Stepping over the rubble

From bombed out buildings

And burned up cars

She makes her way down

To the wedding hall

It's dark and empty

And covered in scars

Oh oh oh

Oh oh oh

It's just her, the groom

And their families

All her friends have left

Or they're just gone

They get married

By candlelight

While the air raid siren

Sings its deadly song

And she knows she will always remember

The day she chose to never surrender

She says I do because she believes

In truth over silence

She says I do because she believes

In love over violence

She doesn't hesitate

To leap into the arms of fate

Today dreams can come true

So she says I do

Oh oh oh

Oh oh oh

Later there's a party

At a rooftop restaurant

They all raise a glass

To the bride and groom

When the lights go out

They just make a joke about it

While the smoke from the fires

Tries to hide the moon

And she knows she will always remember

The day she chose to never surrender

She says I do because she believes

In truth over silence

She says I do because she believes

In love over violence

She doesn't hesitate

To leap into the arms of fate

Today dreams can come true

So she says I do (because she believes)

She says I do (because she believes)

She doesn't hesitate

To leap into the arms of fate

Today dreams can come true

So she says I do
