A sound man’s heart is not shut within itself

But is open to other people’s hearts:

I find good people good,

And I am fine, bad people good

If I am good enough;

I trust men of their word,

And I trust liars

If I am true enough;

I feel the heartbeat of others

Above my own

If I am enough of a

Enough of a son.
