This, this trespass I commit anew,
This, this trespass, ever I pursue:
A man, I am, and human hearts I claim,
A man, I am, and love the human flame.
This, this trespass I commit anew,
This, this trespass, ever I pursue:
A man, I am, and human hearts I claim,
A man, I am, and love the human flame.

A toy I've become in the world's bazaar,
Some play in crowds, some wander afar.
A toy I've become in the world's bazaar,
Some play in crowds, some wander afar.
With smiles, I greet each offering sent,
With smiles, I greet, in love's sacrament.
A man, I am, and human hearts I claim,
A man, I am, and love the human flame.

So naive, I do this folly's act,
Selling joy, for tears' own pact.
So naive, I do this folly's act,
Selling joy, for tears' own pact.
Empty hands, yet commerce I embrace,
Empty hands, in love's own space.
A man, I am, and human hearts I claim,
A man, I am, and love the human flame.

I long to build a heaven here on earth,
Where humankind finds its true birth.
I long to build a heaven here on earth,
Where humankind finds its true birth.
Each street of that city, I prepare,
Each street I pave, beyond compare.
A man, I am, and human hearts I claim,
A man, I am, and love the human flame.
This, this trespass I commit anew,
This, this trespass, ever I pursue:
A man, I am, and human hearts I claim,
A man, I am, and love the human flame.
