Take some of my will
And take some of my wisdom
You need it right now
More than I do
Borrow it for awhile
And find your footing
Take your ruins
And build yourself up again
And when you’ve made it to a place
Where you are safe
Come back to me
And give it back to me
It is just a loan
I may need strength some day
I may need wisdom
So come back to me
And give it back to me
Take my will and take my wisdom
For a few years
And face your fears
But when you’ve planted your roots firmly into the ground
Came back to me
And give it back to me
Because someday I’ll have to get up for another round
Remember what I said
When you were in that hospital bed
When you thanked me for saving your life?
I said, “Save mine someday,” in an off-handed kind of way
So . . .
Save mine someday
Take some of will
And I have plenty still
Take some of my wisdom
I am becoming pretentious anyways
So take it
Use it wisely
Whatever you do
Please don’t waste it
Promise me, will you?
Promise me you won’t piss it away
Promise me you’ll be strong enough to save your own life someday
Promise me you won’t give up
You can lean on me now
You can have my energy
And you can even leave me
To make your life
But
Just
Come back
And give it back
And after that
It’s okay for your to leave again
As long as you return what you borrowed
Then we are all gravy, baby
I saved your life tonight
Come back and save mine sometime
