My name is integrity
I am the foundation for prosperity
The long tree that bears success
As the fruits for the selfless
On the land of peace I do reside
Where trust walks by my side
My favour and my confidence
Gives me a great influence
To everyone I am honest and fair
My judgment is clear like the air
When it’s a chair I say it’s a chair
When it’s a table I say it’s a table
For me everyone is valuable
I can criticize and speak
For my reputation is not weak
On good morals I am an authority
I do come with my hands so clean
I am a pillar on which you can lean
Check from my records of old
My good name will come out bold
Whether I am being watched or not
When I am in darkness or in the light
I remain faithful and do what is right
I have no pleasure in eye service
And with no man I bear malice
A humble servant or a humble master
I still maintain a good character
At all times I show gratitude
With dedication in servitude
Because I have a good attitude
I speak out and my words are happy
They go and never come back ashamed
The words of my mouth are a wall clock
That moves consistently with my actions
My promises also do not fail
Yes, my name is integrity
