About You My Friend

you do not steal from me
because whatever you take
when you are caught
i am always willing to give

do steal away from me again
and i will give it to you again and again
for in truth
i own nothing
and i am not taking anything
away from here
for in truth
we own everything
and you have the right to take what i think
i have inside my hand

i will always remember
the Bishop who gave the chandeliers
to Jean Valjean
who bought his soul
with silver
from God.
