Pay Up

We all write about what we know, as it beckons
to be inked from somewhere deep below,
so you tell me your story and I'll
tell you mine, hell we've got the time
Sing to me a few lines, then we'll compare
unjudgmentally and realize that we share the
same things, failures and as of yet
unfulfilled dreams

In the great scheme of things, we're just
beginning to live, so my friend, we should
all learn to give
To take away from is for fools, and not have
shared is not a rule, to live by cause
you then lose out on so much in this life
Be unique and be yourself, live for yourself
and no-one else, but just remember that what
goes around comes around, so never pass up
the opportunity to lend someone else a
helping hand, cause in so doing you reap
great gain, and in your time of need it'll
come back to you again

But if for some reason it does not, you still
are the one who has a lot, and when you're
gone your life will not be forgotten
Neither will the ones who didn't give, but
when they're thought about, it will be
with contempt
So our lives in the end, will have on
something been spent
We're all born into this world, having to pay
a lease for the space that we occupy, so
when my lease is up, I want to have at least
lived whilst I died
