I took my Power in my Hand
I took my Power in my Hand –
And went against the World –
‘Twas not so much as David – had –
But I – was twice as bold –
I aimed by Pebble – but Myself
Was all the one that fell –
Was it Goliath – was too large –
Or was myself – too small?
F660/J540/1863
Ik nam mijn Kracht ter Hand –
En ging tegen de Wereld in –
Het was niet zo veel als David – had –
Maar ik – was twee keer zo brutaal –
Ik mikte met de Kiezel – maar Ikzelf
Was de enige die viel –
Was het Goliath – was die te groot –
Of was ikzelf – te klein?
Variant voor “was myself” (regel 8): “just myself”, “only me” en “I” (ik in mij eentje).
