Magoam - Diffidence

https://worldstate.de Lyrics: Diffidence can hide a brilliant mind, While quiet souls seem shy or kind. We mix respect with fear inside, And mistake good manners for wounded pride. A reserved voice may still be wise, Though louder people steal the skies. They judge restraint as weakness shown, And miss the strength that’s quietly grown. Diffidence, don’t hide your light, Stand up for truth and claim your right. Respect is strength, not fear or shame, Be calm and bold, and speak your name. In high society, soft words impress, They call it grace and thoughtfulness. But in the lower ranks, the same restraint May mark you weak, unfit, or faint. They call you slow, unskilled, untrained, As if your quiet mind were stained. One social rule can change its face, Depending on your class and place. Diffidence, don’t hide your light, Stand up for truth and claim your right. Respect is strength, not fear or shame, Be calm and bold, and speak your name. When velocity outruns the mind, Fast reactions leave the truth behind. A hasty choice may win the race, Yet thoughtful judgment sets the pace. Intelligence needs room to grow, Not just quick answers in a show. Let confidence and reason blend, And make respect a means, not end. Diffidence, don’t hide your light, Stand up for truth and claim your right. Respect is strength, not fear or shame, Be calm and bold, and speak your name.
