In screaming crowd, stands a man.
Others, their thoughts, do not disguise,
But Speak boldly for leaders, action, and plan.
Others, their thoughts, do not disguise,
But Speak boldly for leaders, action, and plan.
A single man stands silent,
Carefully discerning truth from lies,
Seeking the peoples’ ailment.
Carefully discerning truth from lies,
Seeking the peoples’ ailment.
His people are troubled.
Each other, they ridicule and chastise;
Leaving no strike left unequaled.
Each other, they ridicule and chastise;
Leaving no strike left unequaled.
A single man listens,
Though he knows not what, in their eyes,
Would provide satisfactory solution.
Though he knows not what, in their eyes,
Would provide satisfactory solution.
Amidst so many voices,
None willing for each other’s replies,
Impertinence, the mass rejoices.
None willing for each other’s replies,
Impertinence, the mass rejoices.
A single man is not known,
To the people creating their own demise.
This single man they cannot dethrone,
To the people creating their own demise.
This single man they cannot dethrone,
For he is not their king.
In his own truth he will agonize:
He is not suited for leading.
He is not suited for leading.
The mass needs more than him,
And for his admittance, he is wise.
But others race to lead them.
But others race to lead them.
