Man's Greatest Glory
Man’s greatest glory is not in never falling
Man’s greatness is in rising every time he falls
No matter the deep the gorge or waterfalls
Faced with what is right
Man to leave it undone shows a lack of courage
History judge such with fury and outrage
Ignorance is the night of the mind
To brighten it man must drink wine of enlightenment
After drinking himself intoxicated
Then let him sober and judge
