Take What's Left

Take what's left from out the portion And give back to the day Measured salt from the deepest ocean So to season life in waves Take all that's left of the righteous And give to all the wronged Take what's left over from the melody And set to breeze a simple song Take what little there is left of peace For to soothe the worried soul Take the answers to the questions And share with those who do not know Take what's left out of the moment What's left from the memories Take from out the calloused hand And feed the ones in need When you've taken out all that you can And you feel there's nothing left Sweep the floor beneath your feet And take out even that
