Such is the case with a young Ukrainian girl named Amelia , who went viral after a video of her impromptu performance in a bomb shelter was posted to Facebook. According to Deadline , the clip was shared with her mother’s permission by Marta Smekhova , another resident of the shelter who filmed the video.

Per the outlet, Smekhova captioned her post:

“ From the first word in the [bomb shelter] came complete silence… everyone put their business aside and listen[ed] to a song by this girl who was just beaming light… even men couldn’t hold back the tears. ”

The song in question? Let it Go through Frozen . And Amelia’s rendition was so moving that it captured the world’s attention – and the attention of Broadway legend Idina Menzel , who originated the particular song as the voice associated with Elsa in the Disney film.

The actress reposted the video on Twitter , writing:

“ We see you. We really, really see you.

Watch Amelia’s incredible performance (below):

Wow. We’ll be keeping the girl in our thoughts and hope she remains safe and sound.
