Lyrics

vancouver august 1973
i wrote all these songs
but in this case it's more like the song wrote me

minstrel song

i am a minstrel of old
i am music and music is my soul
and you have heard me before
but sometimes we forget
what we were looking for

i see my life as a lesson for the learning
you are my teachers i hear your song
all we need is harmony to keep it together
if we sing together then we will be strong

we all know the truth is within us
but sometimes we're confused
by what is without us
to know what's real and what is illusion
that's what i'm striving for
i've had enough confusion

i see my life as a lesson for the learning
you are my teachers i hear your song
all we need is harmony to keep it together
if we sing together then we will be strong

music is a gift to my being
and the music is in you
though it may be sleeping
so i give to you my song
if you give it back to me
you know i'll sing along

i see my life as a lesson for the learning
you are my teachers i hear your song
all we need is harmony to keep it together
if we sing together then we will be strong

all we need is harmony to keep it together
all we need is harmony to keep it together
all we need is harmony to keep it together
if we sing together then we will be strong
