Nothing is owed to you by basic fact of life everything has a price love, time, respect, things If you want these then you must work, as they cannot be freely given at least not forever You must earn them Be honest and true to the ones you love It may require sacrifices on your part To get respect, you must first show respect You must sometimes place others above you You would like to spend precious time Then act so it behooves one to do so Material things are.not wild fruit, free to pick, must give your work, time, love and respect The piper must always be paid So be ready for the price Nothing is free to you So let it be done

Expect Nothing, Earn Everything
Nothing is owed to you by basic fact of life everything has a price love, time, respect, things If you want these then you must work, as they cannot be freely given at least not forever You must earn them Be honest and true to the ones you love It may require sacrifices on your part To get respect, you must first show respect You must sometimes place others above you You would like to spend precious time Then act so it behooves one to do so Material things are.not wild fruit, free to pick, must give your work, time, love and respect The piper must always be paid So be ready for the price Nothing is free to you So let it be done
