I can just write
Karolina Marszałkowska 1993 (Gdańsk)
If I could save someone's life
Would I give up mine?
If I could put an end to good byes
Would I be able to lie?
If I could wipe tears from your cheek
Would I use my own clothes?
If I could make it easier to speak
Would I give up wedding gown?
If I could make one wish come true
Would I choose yours?
If I could protect myself from you
Would I hide behind doors?
If I could live forever
Without getting ill
Would I spend this life to help
From my own free will?
Would I be able to give up
My heart, life and dreams
Just for the sake of others
Fighting with their fears?
I'm not a hero I'm just myself
So I can't know it for sure
I'm not angel nor goddess to take
I cannot invent a cure
