to test a man 

beyond belief

to put it in his hand

​

to test a man 

with just a salt

to put it in his hand

 

the man falters

believe it

he may

​

to test the man 

beyond belief

to find the man relief

​

the man triumphs

believe it 

he may

​

to test a man

and rest assured

that he who is a man

​

blames no one

it's not his fault, nor yours

nor anyone you thought

​

to test a man

is testing yourself

in every little way

​

to test this man 

with simple salt

to quench a common goal

​

to test a man 

with many thoughts

to see what's round the bend

​

to test this man

within yourself

why, just to be a friend

​

to test a man 

with open hands

and willing to agree

​

is testing a man

inside his mind

for one day shall be free
