How Fortunate the Man With None (Original Version) [Bonus Track]
You saw sagacious Solomon
And you know what became of him,
To him, complexities seemed plain.
But he cursed the hour that gave birth to his bad self
He saw that everything was vain.
How great, how wise was Solomon.
The world however did not wait
Just observed what followed on.
It was the wisdom that brought him to that state.
Sweet wisdom that brought him to that stage
It was only wisdom that brought him to that stage
So how fortunate the man with none.
You saw courageous Caesar next
You know what he let himself become.
They deified him in his life
And had him murdered just the same.
As they raised the fatal knife
How loud he cried: and you!
The world however did not care
Just observed, carried on.
It was courage that brought him to that state.
It was courage that brought him to that state
Raw courage that brought him to that state
I might say how fortunate the man with none.
Could say.

You heard of honest Socrates
He was a man who never lied
They weren't so grateful as you might think
The rulers fixed to have him tried
They handed him the poisoned drink.
How honest was our people's son.
This world however did not choose to wait
Just observed what followed on.
It was his honesty that brought him to that state
Sweet honesty that brought him to that state
Sweet honesty that brought him to that state
How fortunate the man with some.
Here you can see respectable folk
They all keep to God's own laws.
So far he has not taken heed.
You who sit safe and sound indoors
Help to relieve our bitter needs.
How virtuously we had begun.
The world however will never wait Just observes to carry on.
It's fear of God that brought us to this state
It is the love of God that will take us home
It is the fear of God that brought us to this state
How fortunate the man with no fear Got no fear.
