Give

Is there a reason to live, a reason to give?
It’s both the same, don’t try in vain
to keep apart the things standing together.

The more you give, the more you live.
If you give weapons, you will give death.
But you will live for some time more, I guess.

If you give love, you will give life.
A new line may be drawn in the night,
a new letter written on destiny’s pages.

If you give hate, you will need love.
If you give in anger, no glory will shine.
But warm is your heart if you receive her.

The simple stories are difficult indeed.
Easy it seems to move things into a mess.
But easier it is to be among the blessed.

Thus I can give you only this song.
I hardly began and I don’t know its end.
But it has a meaning, and you might understand.
