Irena Sendler
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 ?

I’m Still Not Sure
Every day
I’m thinking
I cant help it if I’m hesitating
Every day
Im trying
I cant help it if Im agitated
Every day
Im just not sure
He says that he really loves me
That he really really cares
He says that he really loves me
That there’s magic in the air
But Im not sure
You came last
You swept into my heart
I’ve been waiting for you so long
You came along
So right and so wrong
I’ve been waiting for you so long
So very long
Instrumental
He says something changed about me
That Im not the girl he knew
He says something strange about me
Something’s weighing down on you
But he’s not sure
You came last
You tore into my heart
I’ve been waiting for you so long
You came along
So right and so wrong
I’ve been waiting for you so long
But your not sure
Every day
I’m thinking
I cant help it if I’m hesitating
Every day - it’s such a mess
You came last
You tore into my heart
I’ve been waiting for you so long
You came along
So right and so wrong
I’ve been waiting for you so long
But your not sure
I cant help it if I’m aggravated
Every day - it’s such a mess
I feel so stressed

Even Now
When I told you we had no tomorrow
When I said that were through
Little hope and there was too much sorrow
Nothing left to do
Even now
I still love you really
Though our time has gone
Even now
I still love you dearly
Though our time has gone
My true love
Don't go
When I said that I was tired of waiting
When I told you goodbye
Time did heal but it never kill-ed
The love I had for you
Even now
After all this time
I still think of you
Even now
After all this time
Dreams are full of you
My true love
Be well
All the wisdom says that
True love will find its way but
I’m not really hoping
I keep
An open mind
Even now
After all this time
I still think of you
Even now
After all this time
Dreams are full of you
My true love
Farewell
My true love don’t go ...

Prisoner
You hold me with your Arms
You threaten me with harm
You demand I accept your way
Will you blind me with a smile?
Treat me to your bile?
Claim I choose this fate?
Underneath the stars
Another takes my place
Underneath the stars
We see your disgrace
All that I wanted
Was truth and dignity
All that I fought for
Was the right to be free
And to bring an end to
Violence and its tyranny ...
And your cruelty
The years will pass us by
The tears of love will cry
Will you understand why?
Your deeds will be recalled
Your deeds will be appalled
But you don't care at all
Somewhere far and near
Another takes my place
Somewhere far and near
We see your disgrace
All that I wanted
Was truth and dignity
All that I fought for
Was the right to be free
And bring an end to
Tyrants and their company
And their cruelty
Underneath the stars
Another takes my place
Underneath the stars
We see your disgrace
All that I wanted
Was truth and liberty
All that I fought for
Was respect and dignity
So bring an end to
Violence and its tyranny
And its cruelty

Does It Ever Leaves Your Mind
For Emma, Wherever Life Might Lead You
Looking thinking you are wonderful
Watching thinking you are beautiful
Born into a world that’s
Violent at times
With cold cruel minds
That can steal you
With a lie
Sometimes I feel so wary
Sometimes I feel so angry
How was I to recognise
Behind smiling eyes
The evil in his mind
Little Girl Lovely Girl
Warm and safe in your soft world
Little girl lovely girl
What dreams beneath the curls
Leave the past behind ?
Does it ever leave your mind ?
I like to sing to you nursery rhymes
I like to sing to you lullabies
Here's a song about modern times
To keep in mind
Just so you do know
You can’t trust in believing
You cant trust without reason
Some live in a private hell
It’s hard to tell
And know their thoughts inside
Little Girl Lovely Girl
Warm and safe in your soft world
Little girl lovely girl
What dreams beneath the curls
Leave the past behind
Does it ever leave your mind
It’s not my aim to scare you
Wherever life might lead you
We just need to talk it through
No matter what you do
Some might want to hurt you
Little Girl Lovely Girl
Warm and safe in your soft world
Little girl lovely girl
What dreams beneath the curls
Leave the past behind ?
Does it ever leave your mind ?

Erudite chamber pop that hearkens back to the elegant and experimental production of the 1960s, swinging from melancholia to playfulness.
