There is a road travelled by just a few
It's a beautiful road, but it's not new
Many of us refuse to take this 'high road'
It often requires carrying a heavy load
Even though it is assessable night and day,
This road never gives anyone a freeway
We cannot travel this road with pride;
And selfishness too, must be set aside
On this road, only the humble can ride
Without humility, none are allowed to drive.
