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...
