I. O Mortal, what is required of thee?
To act justly.
When
the man at the top
refuses to be
the man at the bottom
he will not be
for the people.
II. O Mortal, what is required of thee?
To love mercy.
When
your counsellors have retired,
When
your news is on repeat,
When
your body has resigned,
do you sleep?
III. O Mortal, what is required of thee?
To walk humbly with my God.
When
the man at the bottom
refuses to be
the man at the top
he will not be
for himself alone.
