Merry Minstrel

The minstrel sat upon the edge

Of the brightly lighted stage

Every member of the court was there

From the beggar to Arch-Mage

They crowded in to hear the fabled

Magic of the man

And whispered as they waited for him

To stand up and strike up the band

Donned in sacred Moses sleeves

And sporting a leprechaun hat

He struck a chord upon his flute

They all stood and thanked him for that

Play on you merry minstrel, fly high

He looked upon their haggard faces

Carved with pain and grief

And when he laughed "It's not so bad"

They stared at him in disbelief

He knew he was a happier man

Than they ever would be

He took their pain into himself

As he set their spirits free

Donned in sacred Moses sleeves

And sporting a leprechaun hat

He struck a chord upon his flute

They all stood and thanked him for that

Play on you merry minstrel, fly high

Fly high, fly high

Merry minstrel, dance and sing

Living in the lonely world of smiles that you bring

Merry minstrel, dance and sing

Living in the lonely world of smiles that you bring

Merry minstrel, dance and sing

Living in the lonely world of smiles that you bring
