Think not that you’re born low,
for your Mak’r has made ev’rything grows;
relieve not your engine,
for your Pott’r packages you with energy;
think not that you’re senseless,
for your Frath’r has given you Solomon’s senses;
pride not myself,
for your Creator creates beings to praise you;
gath’r not food for yourself alone,
for your Provid’r gives you food to feed the needy;
weep not again and again in vain,
for your Consol’r shall comfort you
with which you shall comfort oth’rs;
think not you’re born barren,
for your Lord is a Fruitful Being;
Hasty not unnecessary,
for your miraculous days have come;
fall not to rise,
for you’re in this world to fall and rise again.
While you’re down with nothing,
your God is up for something.
