Verse 1
Zelenskyy stood before the press today
Said Washington had drawn a line in May
A June deadline, a ticking clock
Trump deployed it like a foreign policy talk
Before the midterms steal the stage away
Two nations bleeding, and the world just waits
Chorus
There's a clock on the wall, and it's counting down
June is coming, will the guns lay down?
From Kyiv to the Kremlin, through the Washington halls
Somebody's gotta answer when the deadline calls
Ticking clock for peace, ticking clock for peace
Verse 2
The Washington Post says Russia's at the door
Proposing huge economic deals and more
Trying to win America's embrace
While Ukraine's foreign minister makes his case
Reuters heard him say it plain and clear
"Only Trump can stop the war from here"
Chorus
There's a clock on the wall, and it's counting down
June is coming, will the guns lay down?
From Kyiv to the Kremlin, through the Washington halls
Somebody's gotta answer when the deadline calls
Ticking clock for peace, ticking clock for peace
Verse 3
NPR and NBC and Axios report
Diplomacy reduced to something short
A calendar page, a line drawn in the sand
Accelerate the talks, that's the demand
Ukraine's minister calls for faster days
While millions hold their breath in quiet ways
Bridge
And who decides when enough's enough?
When the deals are big but the road is rough
Somewhere between the power and the pain
Ordinary people pray for sun through rain
June will come no matter what they say
The question is what breaks before that day
Chorus
There's a clock on the wall, and it's counting down
June is coming, will the guns lay down?
From Kyiv to the Kremlin, through the Washington halls
Somebody's gotta answer when the deadline calls
Ticking clock for peace, ticking clock for peace
