When I see you arrive battered and covered in fatigue
I bless your life because that day
You overflowed with effort
I prefer to live with a woman of battle
Mannequins bore me

I remember that painting of the friend
Where a man prisoner of exhaustion
Rests on a table barely seated
Freeing himself from weariness
Dreaming of what he achieved
Thanks to the unconditional dedication
Deposited in his craft

Work ennobles strengthens reaffirms
Our condition
Only the lazy belong in the swamp
And even they deserve something better
Because man was created to build
Idleness is comfortable and there are excuses
To address it
To address it

Yet it's worth descending
To hell to conjure the condemned
To urge them to climb
That daily mountain imposed since childhood
Where once at the top standing like an eagle
We contemplate the infinite mathematical landscape
Where effort plus work equals evolution

I must thank you for accompanying me
In the ascent
It has never mattered that your mountain
Is different from mine
Each one has a peak a vertex
A finish

Finish

The beginning is the same and yet we still have
To climb

Blessed effort

Work ennobles strengthens reaffirms
Our condition
Only the lazy belong in the swamp
And even they deserve something better
Because man was created to build
Idleness is comfortable and there are excuses
To address it
To address it
