What care I for caste or creed?
It is the deed, it is the deed.
What for class or what for clan?
It is the man, it is the man;
Heirs of love, and joy, and woe,
Who is high and who is low?
Mountain, valley, sky and sea,
Are for all humanity.
What care I for robe or stole?
It is the soul, it is the soul;
What for crown, or what for crest?
It is the heart within the breast;
It is the faith, it is the hope,
It is the struggle up the slope;
It is the brain and eye to see,
One God and one humanity.
