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