there’s this myth that tragically persists
if you get more then I’ll get less
well, I won’t
we’ll never get to zero
the barrel has no bottom
we give and then we’ll give more
it’s impossible to run out
we’ll never get to none left
this vessel will not dry up
show me all you’ve got, there’s always enough
it’s impossible to run out of love
fingers point: someone might get yours
but who gets served when we feud for leftovers?
well, we don’t
we’ll never get to zero
the barrel has no bottom
we give and then we’ll give more
it’s impossible to run out
we’ll never get to none left
this vessel will not dry up
show me all you’ve got, there’s always enough
it’s impossible to run out of love
what if we grew a bigger imagination?
it’s not zero sum, it’s all multiplication
we are standing in a windfall
we’ve already got it all, already got it all
