You saw sagacious Solomon |
|
You know what came of him |
|
To him complexities seems plain |
|
He cursed the hour that gave birth to him |
|
And saw everything was vain |
|
How great and wise was Solomon |
|
The world however didn't wait |
|
But soon observed what followed on |
|
It's wisdom that had brought him to this state |
|
How fortunate the man with none |
|
How fortunate the man with none |
|
You saw courageous Caesar next |
|
You know what he became |
|
They defied him in his life |
|
Then had him murdered just the same |
|
And as they raised the fatal knife |
|
How loud he cried, "You too my son" |
|
The world however didn't wait |
|
But soon observed what followed on |
|
It's courage that had brought him to that state |
|
How fortunate the man with none |
|
How fortunate the man with none |
|
You heard of honest Socrates |
|
The man who never lied |
|
They weren't so grateful as you'd think |
|
Instead the rulers fixed to have him tried |
|
And handed him the poisoned drink |
|
How honest was the people's noble son |
|
The world however didn't wait |
|
But soon observed what followed on |
|
It's honesty that brought him to that state |
|
How fortunate the man with none |
|
How fortunate the man with none |
|
Here you can see respectable folk |
|
Keeping to Gods own laws |
|
So far He hasn't taken heed |
|
You who sit safe and warm indoors |
|
Help to relieve out bitter need |
|
How virtuously we had begun |
|
The world however didn't wait |
|
But soon observed what followed on |
|
It's fear of God that brought us to that state |
|
How fortunate the man with none |
|
How fortunate the man with none |
