Lessons From What's Poor lyrics

Song information

Artist: Bonnie Prince Billy
Album: Master And Everyone

Lyrics

When I go
Follow my brother
He's got the blood of father and mother
And he has a spirit that's even mightier

And if I hunger
See that I do
Bring me water
Bring me food
And fill me up with things that are true
And very good

And if you want to
Touch my wrist
With the hands
That I have kissed
And hold my cuffs
So strong in your fist

See now, watch
How it is I am
Watch what I do
And how I stand
And stand down boys
For we are grand
Right now we are

I take my lessons
From what's poor
That's what god
Has put me for
Wealth is death
Of that I'm sure
Farewell
