Springs |
| Father how should a man of integrity ought to be |
| Does he wear a smile like a veil |
| Or a sleeve that bleeds his sanity? |
| When he wears a cross over his heart |
| Is it for reverence or vanity? |
| When he visits the chapel at weeks end |
| Is it insurance? |
| Is it prosperity? |
| Show me a man who is worthy to lead this generation |
| Where are the strong? |
| Where are the disciplined? |
| The snakes have lured us with fruit, the rats have told us lies |
| And with their spoons of silk they have served us their bribes |
| Take me to the corners of earth |
| Show me, an honest man |
| Tell me how a man of integrity ought to be |
| «Imprinted in his bones there is honesty |
| His word is a ladder in the lions den |
| If its firm, then by his word he will be saved |
| If it falters, then in the den he stays |
| He is crooked in little and he’s honorable in much |
| He walks on upright, blameless and sincere |
| Fame and fortune are like mangled rags |
| Greed’s a mat where he wipes his feet" |
| The snakes have lured us with their fruit |
| The rats have told us lies |
| Take me to the corners of earth |
| Show me, an honest man |
| «Like a boulder up against the tide |
| He is not moved, he’s not displaced |
| His flesh withers but his heart perseveres |
| Compassion flows from him like an endless spring |
| Nothing to bring shame, nothing to bring reproach" |
| Oh father instill in me |
| To be a man of integrity |
| Fearless leaders |
| Daring shepherds |
| Men of integrity |
