The Duty of the Strong

Honoring the spirit of "The Duty of the Strong" with Ben Franks from the New Zealand All Blacks 

The Duty of the Strong

Is to know honor and pride

To carry benevolence

In each step of their stride.


The Duty of the Strong

Is to blaze their own trail

To conquer the challenges

Where the normal world would fail.


The Duty of the Strong

Is to know where they stand

To not abuse the power

That they hold in their hand.


The Duty of the Strong

Is to lead and to teach

To believe what they strive for

Is well within reach.
