what
are you
willing
to pay for
those shoes
on your feet
clothes
that you wear
that
food
on your plate
a roof
over
your head
medicine
a car
or bike
what
would you
give
for a good
heart
that never skips
a single beat
lungs
that continue
to breathe
eyes
that clearly see
legs
that bend and move
a balanced
life
security
at home
relevance
in all
those things
you do
perhaps
the world
would be
a better
place
if what
we do
what
we need
was free
but then
who
would pay
for all
those things
we use
we want
what
would you
pay
for lasting
good health
without
fire
without
rain
without
the sun
and moon
how fluid
like water
could
you be
would
you be
retaining
a resilient mood
maintaining
or dissolving
before
you panic
and flee
would you
pay
for your hopes
no matter
if they are many
or few
so many dreams
to come true
if a star
fell
into your lap
what burning cost
that lasting price
is precious life
affordable
paid for
with your time
your work
your energy
pay dearly
clearly the ferryman
requires coin
who will
tell you
what life
is worth
retired
would you
pay to be
just you
would you
pay another fee
another me
what
thine and thee
would you
pay
so war
stayed away
would you
pay
to be
loved
what
would you
pay
to have
everything
to be
perfect
how much
would you
pay
to be absolute
and free
