Nothing To Give

If you have nothing to give

Give the time you lived today

Spend it on the people who have none

Give them time

If you have nothing to give

Give the breath from your lungs

Shout with all your power for theirs

Give them voice

If you have nothing to give

Give them your body

Keep yourself alive for the dying

Give them life

If you have nothing to give

Give them your anger

Stoke the bellows of your chest

Draw the wind into your lungs

Donate the fire you hold between your ribs
