generosity

if we provide a place where you may sleep
in all the safety that this world provides
we would expect your thanks to be quite deep

there's nothing that we can create or keep
that won't in time force us to taking sides
if we provide a place where you may sleep

the hours of darkness much more slowly creep
in all those places where there are no tides
we would expect your thanks to be quite deep

you won't be cast aside thrown on the heap
this is no place where mastery derides
if we provide a place where you may sleep

in time we'll comfort you for each failed leap
and will not smile at those uneven strides
we would expect your thanks to be quite deep

our charity would bring the strong to weep
it would not do them any good besides
if we provide a place where you may sleep
we would expect your thanks to be quite deep
