The Word
What kind of rational man
believes in justice
What kind of rational man
believes in peace
What kind of rational man
believes in fairness
What kind of rational man
believes in truth
What kind of rational man
believes he’s chosen
What kind of rational man
believes in God
What kind of rational man
seeks life eternal
What kind of rational man
—by His decree
