content without running in this race (Where are we going?)

(For vanity) or the respect of man. Just when I think that
A A# A F#                                               G F# G
I can stand I look down at my dirty hands...

Let the lowly brother glory in his exaltation The rich man
        C# D C# B               A G# A  F#F#
like a flower, he will fade away
(just bass)                                                       (scratches)
Soon as the sun has risen with burning heat the flower
(just bass)
fades and beauty perishes.

still know who I am No matter what they say (I just can't
                G F# G F#               A A# A F#
care) I know where I stand, reminded by my dirty hands. I
                        G F# G
can't escape the curse of man.
