What did I see? Well, you must believe me After all, this wasn't the first time If I was out of mind? I claim that I have never been so conscious in my life Woe to me if that were a lie I have been wandering for so long And all this scarcity made me stronger You can see I overcame hunger And I gave the water that fills Your canteens So call me the first The one who came, the one you heard about This is me And I have the word And it must be the guide to the known world The message from the hill
