It begs to stay in this world longer

when it begs, it begs to make this world stronger

It has never touched a tyrant

It has been self reliant

at times a bit defiant

hardly what you would call violent

when it shakes, it shakes for the weak

it shakes for those who cant speak

this shake can be heard from a peak

this shake can inspire the weak

it begs to stay in this world longer

when it begs, it begs to make this world stronger

stretches to the poor, thus it leaps

stretches to stop war, thus it weeps

stretches to help more, thus it’s steep

promises to the poor are promises to keep
