I know the value of your causes

But I don’t know the value of my contribution

I aim to help more but I am tied up

I don’t want my work to

show up as token efforts

I live my life and have to survive

I can’t go out on a limb

if there’s no assurance

Show me love

And I’ll share with you

The future builds on one occurrence

**

Compare the value

of other causes

I still don’t know the value of

my contribution

I aim to help more but I am torn up

Their acceptance

has not shown up

Despite my efforts

I live my life and work to survive

I can’t reach out on a whim

Even if it is alluring

Show me love

And I’ll share with you

No matter what we are enduring

**

They may call the shots

So we don’t go over the top

Over and over again

If they fill with doubt

We may get cast out

And get down and out instead

*

If we climb back up

And care for the world

We may reach the top

Again and again

Our balance won’t stop

We won’t go over the top

If we help those down and out

And share what life’s about

Love can quickly

Turn the world into our best friend

*

We can go through lots

And get stuck at the bottom

Over and over again

If we fill with doubt

We should try to reach out

Find balance with a friend instead

**

I respect the value of your causes

But I can’t predict the value of my contribution

I aim to help more but I am held up

As I want my work to show up as potent efforts

I live my life and blindly survive

Our lights go out and get dim

Bright faith can shine and cure us

Show me love

And I’ll share with you

The current time is the purest
