Walk humbly, son, Walk humbly now And cherish every step For a life well spent On this Earth we're lent Will be marked by the void you have left May you conquer not curse challenges May you hold back the dark like a dam May you lead your life with a lion's roar May you leave it like a lamb Don't await rewards for your good deeds A reward won't make them good Don't await judgment of any foes They'll receive just what they should When you find the axis of this world
Don't tread too far inside Run away as far as you think you can Be well and enjoy the ride Walk humbly, son, and store your pride When you need strength later on For your life's worth will be judged if Earth Is saddened when you are gone Walk humbly, son, Walk humbly now And forget not where you are from May you go further than those before And provide for those to come Will you walk humbly, son?
