Given the chance, would you save a life?
Even if you must, suffer through their strife?
Given the chance, would you help a friend?
Even if it’s your life, you must lend?
Given the chance, would you jump?
Even if to the ground, you would slump?
Given the chance, would you help?
Even if you, kill a young whelp?
Given the chance, would you stay?
Even if my life, you must slay?
Given the chance, would you leave?
Even if you did, would you grieve?
Given the chance, would you kill?
Even if it’s your blood, you must spill?
Given the chance, would you moan?
If my life, replaced your own?
