Lustro czeka
Kayah Lyrics

Lustro czeka w oczy sobie zajrzyj
Wytęż wzrok
Gdy człowieka jeszcze w sobie znajdziesz
Pokochaj go

Wiem, ze nie jest łatwy
I trudno jest z nim dobrze żyć
Chociaż sam wstydliwy
Wcale nie na niby przynosi wstyd

Doskonały nie jest nikt
To jest tylko człowiek i
Nie bądź już na niego zły
Nie oceniaj zbyt surowo
Kochaj go
Niech poczuje się jak młody bóg
Wspomni sobie miłość znów
Serce niech urośnie mu
Niech i on kocha kogoś
Kochaj go.

Lustro czeka w oczy sobie zajrzyj
I wytęż wzrok
Gdy człowieka jeszcze w sobie znajdziesz
Pokochaj go

Wiem, że w słowo wchodzi ci
Twoją dłonią rządzi i
Chociaż głupi nie jest, głupstwa robi przecież
Przynosi wstyd

Doskonały nie jest nikt
Nie bądź już na niego zły
Daj mu spokój przecież wy - jedno i to samo w sumie
Kochaj go
Jak może go ktoś kochać i szukać może skarbów w nim
Skoro przecież nawet ty tego dziś już nie umiesz
Nie kochasz go
Nie, nie

Lustro czeka w oczy sobie zajrzyj (oczy sobie zajrzyj)
I wytęż wzrok
Gdy człowieka
Jeszcze w sobie znajdziesz (jeszcze w sobie znajdziesz)
Pokochaj go (pokochaj go, pokochaj go)
Kochaj go
