A Poland Divided

Based on Poland 2016

Michal Szpak stands in front of the tower we know from the video, shattered and on fire. The tower, not Michal.

When Prussian troops come knocking on your door
Cities that you loved just disappear
And when you feel the Russians are too close
You need to know that Poland’s just been split

(Pru-uh-uh-ssia) share it, red and white
Just had a big divide
(Ru-uh-uh-ssia) Try to ask the Czar
Where we really are?

Poland died not in unity, not strong
Lithuania had disappeared
Years ago – they took it you can be sure
When there was Poland on the map

The choice was theirs, whose should we really be?
We’re afraid of our destiny
So when you feel that Poland’s down the drain
You need to know, they split it up again

(Au-aus-tri-a) share it, red and white
Just had one more divide
(Ru-uh-uh-ssia) Try to ask the Czar
Where we really are?

And one day we’ll unite all of our
Diaspora
And then we start our magic conquest
And we will win – a Song Contest!

(Pru-uh-uh-ssia) share it, red and white
Just had a big divide
(Ru-uh-uh-ssia) Try to ask the Czar
Where we really are?

(oh-oh-oh-oh) don’t split red and white
Cause Poland reunites
(Po-Oh-Oh-land) did so many times
Until the next divide!
