Not happy are those drunk on gold and silver's gleam,
The truly rich, my brother, are poor indeed.
True wealth is contentment, a soul's soft dream.

Our hearts, they shine, with sapphire and jade,
Brighter than gold’s false shade.
From silver clouds, the heavens cascade,
And fields of joy are made.
Oh brother, work and find your ease,
Work, and then seek your peace.
Work, and forever find your ease.

We are kings, we are emperors untold,
Yet the world’s blind, its stories grow old.
We are kings, we are emperors bold,
Unseen, a story to unfold.
The heavens our canopy, a love to embrace,
The earth, our treasure, our time and space.
Oh brother, work and find your ease,
Work, and then seek your peace.
Work, and forever find your ease.

From another’s table, no sustenance, no grace,
A habit to consume, a hungry chase.
From another’s table, no sustenance, no grace,
A petty hunger, in its place.
For us, the bread of our own sweat, tastes sweet,
A simple crust, a humble treat.
Oh brother, work and find your ease,
Work, and then seek your peace.
Work, and forever find your ease.

When our sweat falls, a blessing untold,
The earth gives forth treasures, brave and bold.
When our sweat falls, a blessing untold,
The earth bursts forth, a story to be told.
We transform the heavens, a garden to see,
And shift the seasons, eternally.
Oh brother, work and find your ease,
Work, and then seek your peace.
Work, and forever find your ease.
Work, and forever find your ease.
Work, and forever find your ease.
