Take what's left from out the portion
And give back to the day
Measured salt from the deepest ocean
So to season life in waves

Take all that's left of the righteous
And give to all the wronged
Take what's left over from the melody
And set to breeze a simple song

Take what little there is left of peace
For to soothe the worried soul
Take the answers to the questions
And share with those who do not know

Take what's left out of the moment
What's left from the memories
Take from out the calloused hand
And feed the ones in need

When you've taken out all that you can
And you feel there's nothing left
Sweep the floor beneath your feet
And take out even that
