Let the Freedom Rise
SUPPORT CAMPAIGN TO HELP CHILDREN IN THE CRISIS IN UKRAINE
The war on Ukraine has caused immense distress and suffering among children and civilians. The need for humanitarian aid is enormous and urgent to limit damage and harm. The war has changed the lives of millions of people. In addition to seeding sorrow, human tragedy, distress and grief, war causes material destruction as well, where repairing will continue for decades to come.
In the midst of trouble, children are undeniably completely innocent, who seem to become the suffering party in conflicts and crises caused by adults. Any possible help is necessary – it is impossible to help enough.
T-K-V organizes a charity campaing in co-operation with World Vision Finland, featuring the Let the Freedom Rise song (release date November 22nd 2022) and video, and several ways to collect funds to help children in the crisis in Ukraine. The emergency aid collection is carried out by World Vision Finland.
The campaign lasts 24 months (November 2022 – November 2024).

Let the Freedom Rise
Let’s teach our kids, to live in a peace, know right from wrong
No more leaders committing crimes against humanity
There’s no pride, greed driving the deeds
Guns, missiles, tanks, for peace (yeah, right)
Be not afraid we are around the world
United and strong, together as a one
Stand up for the peace, let the freedom rise!
Declaring a war is anything but a sign of strength
Seeding sorrow, destroying the homes and dreams for millions
Believe in better tomorrow
Support the people fighting oppression
Love one another, True colors of peace
Be not afraid we are around the world
United and strong, together as a one
Stand up for the peace, let the freedom rise!
Silence is a consent, we need to take a stance
Tomorrow’s world is built on decisions we make today
When everything is falling to the ground
It’s our moral responsibility to help
Stand up for the peace, let the freedom rise!
Be not afraid we are around the world
United and strong, together as a one
Stand up for the peace, let the freedom rise!
