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...
