[Verse 1] Behind the walls of Warsaw, A mother held her child. Irena came to help them While hatred ruled outside. Żegota found them shelter, New papers and new names. She kept their true names hidden, So they could find their own again. [Verse 2] The Gestapo came for answers, Dragged her through their door. With threats and brutal beatings, They tried to make her talk. She would not name the children, Would not betray her friends. Żegota bought her freedom— She went back to helping them. [Chorus] SOS—somebody save me! Can anybody hear my cry? Will somebody stand beside me When the others pass me by? Lord, give courage to the willing, Give us love that conquers fear. When somebody cries for mercy, Let us be the ones who hear. [Verse 3] Now someone sits in prison For speaking against the throne. Another’s jailed for following Jesus, Their family waits at home. Will we hear them through the distance? Will we stand beside them too? We honor brave Irena— Lord, help us follow through. [Final Chorus] SOS—somebody save me! Can anybody hear my cry? Will somebody stand beside me When the others pass me by? Lord, give courage to the willing, Give us love that conquers fear. When somebody cries for mercy, Let us be the ones who hear. [Outro] Irena and Żegota, We remember what you gave. Righteous Among the Nations— Give us courage, Lord, to save.
