the problems I've crossed
with what people sell you
the higher the cost
the lower the value

so lower the price
to less than you've got
don't even think twice
at a penny a thought

then soon you will see
when you give it away
that you become free
from the price that you pay

to buy what you sell
then spend what you make
for the lower you dwell
the higher the stake

in life there's a chance
to earn what you make
by learning to give
and forgetting to take

then you will make love
and give away more
and isn't that sort of
the best thing to live for?

What wasted days we share
the hours we breathe like air
they float away
and bleed the day
Though we have no need to care

Our time is fuel to burn
our bonfires never adjourn
although they may
turn night to day
night cannot be had out of turn

Footsteps are laid to be traced
to follow at memories pace
but to me, aren't there
if there are not two pair
wasted days, without you, are a waste
