Don't lie little child
Karolina Marszałkowska 1993 (Gdańsk)
Don't lie, don't lie little child
For lies always lose their way
For they always will resurface
From the sea of words you made
Don't lie, don't lie little child
Lying won't take you anywhere
For it will hurt for many years
And you can't say its just unfair
Don't lie , don't lie please my child
Say the truth and I'll forgive
Every mischief of your doing
It's better than to drawn in grief
Don't lie ,child -you mother asks
So tired after day of work
I'll always know when you lie
So don't lie child , don't lie
