Take heart ye of broken wills and minds  
Take courage ye of fearful reluctance  
Take heed ye with the lack of wisdom
For it is not those that are above thee that triumph
It is not those who crush thee that live with victory
It is not them who know not a day’s labor that earn the favor
Nay verily I say to thee it is you who will inherit the riches
You who will walk with kings
You who will earn that favor
You who will fly on eagles wings
For you have paid your penitence
You have performed the deed
You who suffered the fire
You who the world admired
For your works are soaked with your determination
Your will strengthened by your trials
Do not look up and think that the skies will not accept thee
Do not look to the ground and think of the chains that bind thee
Aspire to climb the tallest mountain posed to thee
Aspire to mind the richest mine  
For I tell thee in secret and in truth  
It is not them that have their wealth handed  
But you who has his wealth earned
Who will live and prosper as they crash and burn
As the lessons you learn while thy face in the mud
Will be the lessons that keep thy ship afloat  
Thy mind from envious greed
They soul pure and untainted
As you receive thy reward so long awaited.
