All a Man Has Got
ALL A MAN HAS GOT…
As I grow weary and my mind fades
I sit and muse about all I have in life
Silver and gold are not mine for they belong to the sovereign
The wealth I have accumulated can’t buy me life
All the trouble I have been through seems not worth it
So listen to me my friend
Listen to what life has taught
That all a man has is his word
For if you can keep your word then you can keep friends
If you can keep your word then you can win hearts
But if your word be loose...
Then shall your morals be loose
Your friendship shall be but only fart in the wind
For a short time shall you keep your friends
Until they realize you can’t keep your word then shall they desert you
Keep your word my friend it’s all you got.
