THE KINDS OF MAN

EVIL IS THE ANGRY MAN
WHO CURSES ALL UPON THE LAND
WHO HURTS AS MANY AS HE CAN
AND BURIES THEM BELOW HE SAND

GREEDY IS THE WANTING MAN
WHO TAKES THE BOUNTY FROM THE LAND
WHO NEVER GIVES A HELPING HAND
AND HIDES HIS SIN BENEATH THE SAND

CAUTIOUS IS THE CAREFUL MAN
WHO WALKS SO LIGHTLY ON THE SAND
WHO NEVER TAKES A PUBLIC STAND
AND KEEPS HIS MONEY IN HIS HAND

HAPPY IS THE WALKING MAN
WHO SEES THE GOOD UPON THE LAND
WHO WARMS HIS HANDS IN SUNNY SAND
AND LIVES HIS LIFE TO HIS OWN PLAN

LOVING IS THE FAITHFUL MAN
WHO SPREADS HIS LOVE UPON THE LAND
WHO CAUSES WARMTH WITHIN THE SAND
WHO'S ALWAYS THERE TO BE ON HAND

SAINTLY IS THE GIVING MAN
WHO HELPS AS MANY AS HE CAN
WHO’S CAREFUL WITH THE FRAGILE LAND
AND HEALS THE SICK WITH HIS GOOD HAND

ETERNAL IS THE PERFECT MAN
WHO SAVES THE SOULS IN ALL THE LAND
WHO SPREADS HIS TRUTH UPON THE SAND
AND KEEPS MANKIND WITHIN HIS HAND
