Irena Sendler

Words & Music by Tony Harris

She carried children

Through crosses from stars

And she smuggled children

By courage and heart

She was my savior

Lied for me

I'd lie for her

She walked where others feared to go

Saved their lives

Risking he-r own

She hid our souls in

Jars neath the apple tree

She lived her life so truthfully

She risked her life for

Love of humanity

She was Irena

Calm and serene

She was Jolanta

Through rubble and screams

Asked by our loved ones

If they go

Will they survive?

She could say only what she knew

If they stay

They will surely die

She hid our souls in

Jars neath the apple tree

She showed her love so truthfully

She risked her life for

Love of humanity

She risked her life for

Love of humanity

She often said that she could have done more

But who could give more

Has more

To sacrifice?
