The Minstrel's Prayer - 2025

And 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 the same old song

I've written for the day

Shelter me oh genius words

Just give me strength

To pen these things

And give me peace to well her wings

And oh carry on all you minstrels of the world

We will catch our ladies 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 different never know

Shelter me oh genius words

Just give me strength

To pen these things

And give me peace to well her wings

And oh carry on all you minstrels of the world

We will catch our ladies ear

We will win for us the girl

And i'll hold on to the dream

Of this beggar's plea and 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 well her wings

And oh carry on all you minstrels of the world

We will catch our ladies ear

We will win for us the girl

And oh carry on, oh carry on all you minstrels of the world

We will catch our ladies ear

We will win for us the girl
