Know me not for bitterness. For enmity. For war
For insanity of purpose and the settling of old score
Cast aside these evils. Let your hearts be free
as more through love than understanding do you find me
Know too the olive groves; the pastures in the sun
and the dusty hills of Canaan where Jordan’s River runs
Home my notion, for compassion for the poor
source my inspiration for justice, peace and law
Where an arrogance of nation would defy my vision grand
My vision for the meek. Their Kingdom, in all lands
as through beggars’ eyes and prison bars in rags my children see
tribes stranger to this mansion, who would deny this dignity
