Lessons from What's Poor
When I go,
Follow my brother...
He's got the blood
Of father and mother...
And he has a spirit
That's even mightier
And if I hunger,
See that I do
Bring me water,
Bring me food...
And fill me up
With things that are true
And very good...
And if you want to,
Touch my wrist
With the hands
That I have kissed
And hold my cuffs,
So strong in your fists...
See now, watch,
How it is i am
Watch what i do...
And how I stand
And stand down boys
For we are grand,
Like now we part...
I take my lessons
From what's poor...
That's what God
Has put me here for...
Wealth is death,
Of that i'm sure...
Farewell
Follow my brother...
He's got the blood
Of father and mother...
And he has a spirit
That's even mightier
And if I hunger,
See that I do
Bring me water,
Bring me food...
And fill me up
With things that are true
And very good...
And if you want to,
Touch my wrist
With the hands
That I have kissed
And hold my cuffs,
So strong in your fists...
See now, watch,
How it is i am
Watch what i do...
And how I stand
And stand down boys
For we are grand,
Like now we part...
I take my lessons
From what's poor...
That's what God
Has put me here for...
Wealth is death,
Of that i'm sure...
Farewell
