Message of Monika's song
A part of Monika's song refrain includes “building bridge form heart to heart in the name of love!”
Through all my artistic efforts I try to link two worlds that up until recently seemed impossible to combine world of people with and without disabilities. Bridge of understanding between those two becomes stronger and stronger each year. I strongly believe that some day borders separating those worlds will disappear forever. This year Eurovision Song Contest motto is Building Bridges and it fits perfectly the idea I convey through my song. The contest's phrase also inspired me to write lyrics to In The Name Of Love. Because in the name of love we are able to overcome every barrier, aren't we?, Monika Kuszyńska says.
