Jesters, Dreamers, & Thieves - Edwin McCain

Looking back on younger days the view stretched on for miles

We charged into our future 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, yeah

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, 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, say

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 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 dreamers, thieves yeah

When you felt that you lost your integrity

Just remember you are [Incomprehensible]

Trickle of a chuckle as laughter starts to pour

Bells begin to jingle the trickles now a roar

Pan flutist, 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, well, I know he believes, yes he does

There's a place in heaven for jesters, dreamers and thieves, yeah

Jesters, dreamers and thieves

Jesters, dreamers and thieves

Jesters, dreamers and thieves

Jesters, dreamers and thieves
