Servants on horses; Princes barefoot

Events turn out so wrong
evil seen beneath the sun
who will sing the bitter song?
who will talk about the sons?
How sight has aroused great fear
or thought which left brain to quake
of poor servants who couldn't dare
great nobles that seemed plaques
Servant on horses;
Princes barefoot

Palace left desolate
the people suffer a lot
servants left to create
nobles ripped their cloth
O how I could bring them back
with heated words of fierce gear
then rescue our children from lack
oh let the servants hear
Servant on horses;
Princes barefoot

Rulers wine at dawn
the servant left to judge
nobles doose and lodge
wisdom tossed for coin
Oh how my kings could reason
or servants incline their head to wisdom
to make our sun risen
to light up our duty kingdom
Servant on horses;
Princes barefoot

O' let servants love wisdom
for time will make them nobles
time will give them horses
o let nobles act as nobles
for wisdom has given servants horses
Servant on horses;
Princes barefoot.
