They halve their worries that know what they want
And make it target of an earnest hunt.
Where I Was Born
They halve their worries that know what they want
And make it target of an earnest hunt.
Where I Was Born
It’s who steers a ship that wrecks its trip.
Where goes the shepherd there will go the sheep.
Where I Was Born
It’s who steers a ship that wrecks its trip.
Where goes the shepherd there will go the sheep.
Where I Was Born
Who steals a crown should humbly bear the blame
If his rule defames his people’s name.
They have a right to frown
At a king whose reign does not deserve acclaim,
And rise to seize their crown.
Where I Was Born
Patriotism is our taking care
To paint things as they are,
To not misname a spade,
And not shout of gloom, and flare,
When there’s just a shade.
Where I Was Born
Fools die and praise their fatherland in vain
Or extol a vain throne while they suffer pain.
Where I Was Born
Truth is piety, piety truth.
Where I Was Born
In their desperate ways some kings are sure
To invoke corruption to besmear the pure.
Where I Was Born
Those who build in the heart live in the heart.
Those who build in the mind live in the mind.
And though they pass on, they never die.
