Knight Errant (My Son)

Son
You have your sword
And you have your steps
I pray you will have
All that you need
To follow your dream
And fight the good fight
So ride with the wind
My paladin knight

Now
You’re on your way
Deeds to be sone
Stories to write
Under the Sun
Where you may meet
A lady who’ll say
Tonight is the knight
You’re on your way!

My son
If all is fair in love and war
Be sure what you’re fighting for
Though I know
You’ll love and learn
Still my heart will burn
Till the day you return

Beware
Strangers you meet
With passion for gold
Prophets of doom
With lies to be told
Sinners and saints
With secrets to sell
Of castles and kings
Heaven and hell

My son
If all is fair in love and war
Be sure what you’re fighting for
Though I know you’ll love and learn
My heart will burn
Till the day you return

You will return
