Say my name
A common incantation For better and for worse
A common name —in any Country, often it can be heard
For so many named their children After that man from Galilee
As if to predetermine What good people they could be
Of these fishes and birds he speaks Comes this lesson for you and me
Be fruitful and do multiply Sing songs from the tops of the trees
This life is so certainly short When stacked up to eternity
So waste not time on petty things Give to the sick, the poor, the needy
If you, yourself are not hungry Then for someone else do something more
For in the end, when you’ve nothing left Your deeds will open your last door…
