Może źródła być odbiciem
Każda jedna chwila
Może ożywić twoje życie
Bierz i nie czekaj - ona ciągle ucieka
Bierz i nie czekaj - ona ci ucieka
Bierz i nie czekaj - ona ciągle ci ucieka
Każda jedna chwila
Może eksplodować siłą
Każda jedna chwila
Może stać się chwilą miłą
Bierz i nie czekaj - ona ciągle ucieka
Bierz i nie czekaj - ona ci ucieka
Bierz i nie czekaj - ona ciągle ci ucieka
Chwytaj - nie zwlekaj
Każda jedna chwila
Może oczy Ci otworzyć
Każda jedna chwila
Obyś takiej chwili dożył
Bierz i nie czekaj - ona ciągle ucieka
Bierz i nie czekaj - ona ci ucieka
Bierz i nie czekaj - ona ciągle ci ucieka
Chwytaj - nie zwlekaj
