The mouth of a flower
The hummingbird waits
Guarding his morsel
As he takes, and he takes, and he takes
The mussel underwater
The seagull's plate
In the tide, running after
As it takes, and it takes, and it takes
And we take, and we take, and we take
Oh, we take, and we take, take, take
The huckleberry climber
The soul of a lark
Climbing the church walls
To the golden choir
And the worry of a mother
The creaking of a gate
Do ghosts get hungry?
'Cause they take, and they take, and they take
Oh, we take, and we take, and we take
Oh, we take, and we take, take, take
The life of a father
King Solomon unlit
Lived out through his daughter
To the golden choir
The mussel underwater
The algae in bloom
And what more could he offer?
What more to do?
The mouth of a flower
The hummingbird waits
Guarding her morsel
As she takes, and she takes, and she takes
And we take, and we take, and we take
Oh, we take, and we take, and we take
Oh, we take, and we take, and we take
Oh, we take, and we take, take, take
