The Masses! The Masses! The Masses have toiled,
Behold the works of the World!
The Masses are thinking, 
Whence comes the thought of the World!
The Masses are singing,
Whence comes the Art of the World!
The Masses are yearning, 
Whence comes the hope of the World.
The Masses are dreaming,
Whence comes the visions of God!
God's in His Heaven,
All will be well with the World!
