The simple man

Vanitas vanitatum
[Everything is meaningless - Ecclesiastes 1, 1]
I was born to pave the way
To let the masses hear, listen to my say
They´ll follow through the darkest nights
As to a shepherd with second sight
But I´m a simple man
I follow God´s own plan
Only a few coins in my hands
I live alone
The only life I´ve known
I do not need nor want this throne, on no...
Upon this stage these words I sing
Peace to all men is the dream I wish to bring, yeah...
So do as I do not as I say
Out of this ocean land I cannot lead the way
For I´m a simple man
I follow God´s own plan
I dance while raising high both hands
I´ll preach tonight
These few words of light
But I swear I´m not Jesus Christ
Minor sum cunctis miserationibus quam explesti servo tuo
[I am unworthy of all the kindness and faithfulness you have shown your servant - Genesis 32,10]
