Minstrel's Prayer
All these stupid silly songs
Keep trying to catch your ear
I'm trying desperately
It's just so hard to persevere
And even if you listened,
I never had much to say
Cause it's that same old song
I've written for a day
Shelter me oh genius words
Just give me strength
To pen these things
Give me peace to weld her wings
And oh oh carry on all you minstrels of the world
We will catch our lady's ear
We will win for us the girl
All these minstrels through the ages
That is really all we are
Simply singing for the girl
That makes us try so very hard
To craft the perfect limerick
To wield unending woe
To write such silly songs
And the difference never know.
Shelter me oh genius words
Just give me strength
To pen these things
Give me peace to weld her wings
And oh oh carry on all you minstrels of the world
We will catch our lady's ear
We will win for us the girl
I'll hold on to the dream
Ooo this beggar's plea, an optimistic fantasy
Just hold the hand and drop the knee
You're facing love
You're embracing melody
Shelter me oh genius words
Just give me strength
To pen these things
And give me peace to weld her wings
And oh oh carry on all you minstrels of the world
We will catch our lady's ear
We will win for us the girl
And carry on oh carry on all you minstrels of the world
We will catch our lady's ear
We will win for us the girl
