Show me a fire...

Show me a fire blazing in fields,
I'll show you the start of a meadow,
Give me a shirt to cover my back,
I'll thank you for the warmth,
Show me your calloused skin,
I'll be grateful for the work you did,
Take in a stranger cold,
Warm him by the fire and feed him full,
What does it matter that we do this,
Ask yourself, why does the fire burn.
