Edwin McCain - 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 we’ve laughed until we’re sick Now I keep company with wicked evil men My generosity’s brimming but I’m still inclined to sin My friends think I am crazy and I know that may be so But I’m as happy with a penny as coffers full of gold And so for all of you I say, don’t miss the forest for all the trees And don’t ever question honor among thieves The undergrowth has parted now the path is easily read It’s lined with all the doubters regretting all they’ve 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, don’t miss the forest for all the trees And don’t 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 it’s funny, laugh at me if it’s fun And I don’t know st. peter but I know he believes There’s a place in heaven for jesters, dreamers & thieves Edwin McCain Lyrics Jesters, Dreamers, & Thieves Lyrics
