Why this reckless cry, this thoughtless call?
From slogans, where does life's support fall?
Awake, you dreamers, from slumber's hold,
Demand the right your labors unfold.
Fear not the words that others may say,
Yet let your work never slip away.
Work, and let work be your guiding light,
Work so that coffers gleam with their might.
Work, and let work be your guiding star,
Work so that wealth is not afar.
If empty pockets are all you claim,
How then, will you feed the hungry flame?
How, I ask you, how?

Thus, I implore, my brothers, my kin,
First, the belly's prayer, then labors begin.
First, the belly's prayer, a sacred plea,
First, the belly's prayer, for you and for me.
Empty stomachs, no work they inspire,
First the belly's prayer, a burning desire.
First the belly's prayer, before all else.

When the belly's full, the arms have their strength,
When the belly's full, the journey's length.
He who cannot fill his own inner space,
Is a weakling lost, in a desolate place.
From the belly life's essence does flow,
Life's essence is all that we truly know.
From the belly life's essence does flow,
Life's essence is all that we truly know.
The truth unfurls, in its simple grace:
The belly itself, a sacred space.
Yes, the belly itself, a holy decree.

Thus, I implore, my brothers, my kin,
First, the belly's prayer, then labors begin.
First, the belly's prayer, a sacred plea,
First, the belly's prayer, for you and for me.
Empty stomachs, no work they inspire,
First the belly's prayer, a burning desire.
First the belly's prayer, before all else.

Whether the belly of rich or poor,
Whether the belly forevermore,
To the belly, our fate is tethered tight,
To the belly, the dark and the light.
To feed the hungry, a virtue of grace,
To feed the hungry, to find our place.
To steal another's bread, a sin untold,
A wicked soul, a heart of cold.
A beastly man, in a shape of man.

Now, at last, the truth is clear and true,
So, my friends, I now speak to you.
First, the belly's prayer, then labors begin.
First, the belly's prayer, a sacred plea,
First, the belly's prayer, for you and for me.
First the belly's prayer, before all else.
First the belly's prayer, before all else.
First the belly's prayer, before all else.
First the belly's prayer, before all else.
First the belly's prayer, before all else.
