With my stringed instrument I thank God That I have not become a King; I would have been tremendously flattered And perhaps I would have been corrupted. I also thank God with all my heart That on this Earth I Am not a powerful, rich man, And I pray that I will not become one. For fame and riches drive you on and puff you up, They have lots of risks, And they have twisted many hearts Which were formerly honest. And all that money and all those goods Provide plenty of things; But health, sleep and a positive attitude Are things they cannot grant. Whatever people say, these things are A real reward and blessing! I shall therefore not beat myself up All because of a load of money. May God give me each day As much as I need to live on.
