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)
