The beautiful harmony of respiration and photosynthesis,
Every step of life and each short breath we take,
Running in our blood and flooding our lungs,
Give me oxygen and you give me fire,
The furious combustion that bestows gifts of light and warmth,
The birth of mankind and the mastery of destruction,
Taming the world and fueling creation,
Give me oxygen and you give me decay,
The harsh wind and waves that rusts and corrodes steel,
The bane of strength and the ticking clock,
Marching inevitably, all to dust,
Give me oxygen and you give me everything,
Give me oxygen and you take it all away.
