If you’re true to your own convictions of right,
You are working for man’s elevation.
You may not have riches, or honor, or power;
But there’s something far higher and better
For “Riches take wings,” and honor and fame
Too often prove only a fetter;
But he who can fearlessly stand by the right,
And face every wrong and oppression,
Is richer than he who lacks courage, although
The wealth of the world’s his possession.
