Values

since we have no way of defining now
i have just as much value as you do
you in your millions
and i in my music
what difference does it make

i sing and play with hugh notes and sounds
and you worry about copper pennies

do you think that i would trade
my life for yours
when i die
what i leave behind
is what i have given

when you die
what you leave behind
is all that you have taken
and all that you have squeezed
down to the very last grape
