Jesters Dreamers Thieves lyrics

Looking back on younger days the view stretched on for miles

We charged into our futures with laughter and smiles

As we traveled blindly the road became so thick

No chance to change direction and weve laughed until were sick

Now I keep company with wicked evil men

My generositys brimming but Im still inclined to sin

My friends think I am crazy and I know that may be so

But Im as happy with a penny as coffers full of gold



And so for all of you I say, dont miss the forest for all the trees

And dont ever question honor among thieves



The undergrowth has parted now the path is easily read

Its lined with all the doubters regretting all theyve said

God bless all the dreamers and those who lead with soul

For how can you know virtue less you fought out of a hole



And so for all of you I say, dont miss the forest for all the trees

And dont ever question honor among thieves



Trickle of a chuckle as laughter starts to pour

Bells begin to jingle the trickles now a roar

Pan floutist, cloven dancer

The mischief has begun

Laugh with me if its funny, laugh at me if its fun

And I dont know st. peter but I know he believes

Theres a place in heaven for jesters, dreamers & thieves
