(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?
