How Fortunate The Man With None

You saw sagacious Solomon

And you know what became of him

To him, complexities seemed plain

But he cursed the hour that gave birth to his bad self

He saw that everything was vain

How great, how wise was Solomon

The world however did not wait

Just observed what followed on

It was the wisdom, that brought him to that state

Sweet wisdom, that brought him to that state

It was only wisdom, that brought him to that state

So how fortunate the man with none.

You saw courageous Caesar next

You know what he let himself become

They deified him in his life

And had him murdered just the same

As they raised the fatal knife

How loud he cried: and you!

The world however did not care

Just observed, carried on

It was courage that brought him to that state

It was courage that brought him to this state

Raw courage that brought him to that state

Well I might say, how fortunate the man with none

Could say.

You heard of honest Socrates

He was a man who never lied

They weren't so grateful as you might think

The rulers fixed to have him tried

They handed him the poisoned drink

How honest was our people's son

This world however did not choose to wait

Just observed what followed on

It was his honesty that brought him to that state

Sweet honesty that brought him to that state

Sweet honesty that brought him to that state

How fortunate the man with some.

Here you can see the respectable folk

They all keep to God's own laws

So far he has not taken heed

You who sit safe and sound indoors

Help to relieve our bitter needs

How virtuously we had begun

The world however will never wait

Just observes to carry on

It's fear of God that brought us to this state

It is the love of God that will take us home

It is the fear of God that brought us to this state

How fortunate the man with no fear

Got no fear.
