When I ask you to give,
I am telling you to live
Do you not give some air
to get a flow of breath?
When you want a life,
do you not bring your cells?
When I ask you to give,
I am telling you to live
Do you not let fluid out
to renew with water?
Do you not make bowel space
to receive a refill?
When I ask you to give,
I am telling you to live
Would you receive of the ground
without giving your seeds?
Would the waters be good,
if they never flow away?
When I ask you to give,
I am telling you to live
Because when we don’t,
death hurries in steal.
