`Anything!'
the king gasps.
He knows God would not lie.
He really can have anything.
How should he reply?
The voice of fortune whispers,
`Ask God for wealth untold.
Ask him to fill your treasure chests
with heaps of shining gold.'
Then he hears
the voice of fame
`Ask to be a star.
Ask for a multitude of fans
in countries near and far.'
The voice of victory interrupts,
`Ask God for power and might.
Ask to defeat your enemies
and crush them in the fight. '
