You Gave Them Generously
You gave them generously
Albert Einstein, generous brain to experiment
Napoleon Bonaparte, generous mouth to command
Pele generous legs to play balls and score goals
Winston Churchill generous lips of oratory
Karl Marx, generous mind to philosophize
Paul of Tarsus generous spirit to convert
Shakespeare generous fingers to write
Neil Armstrong generous courage for the moon
What about me, the Generous Giver?
Tell me what you have given me generously!
Only appetite to confuse, to hate, to lie idle!
to destroy creation, to slander, to deny truth!
You tell me to discover but the world veils
You tell me to work hard but the world blocks
Let me know, let me know, let me know!
My soul shall not rest till I know!
