I’m the small still voice of the gods
that descend from a humble hut;
I speak only the words of the gods
to you all who care to give ear.
Pay heed to the soft messages of the gods
that travel forth from my mouth,
before the gods strike you down!
The voice of the gods,
a voice of great wisdom,
bringing down many and rising up many;
a voice that turns for better the life of many
who care to listen.
I am the young still voice of the gods
that echoes around the whole wide world;
he who know me not, know not his name,
for I and the gods are one and the same!
