Harlequin Drum Major
Humbly I ask thee
Whisk me along in your merriment
And set my spirit free
The noise outside is deafening
Is my destiny at hand
Lead me to my proper place
Within your marching band
The Drum Major is a creature
Unlike any ever seen
His uniform the magic colors
of his royalty
His presence is a wonder
Mesmerizing to behold
Jeweled baton the prop with which
His stories all unfold
I am a lowly outcast
Never fit in any crowd
No matter how I shouted
I could not be heard out loud
I risk my identity to disappear
Without a trace
It's unimportant now that anyone
Should know my face
Acceptance is a false prophet
Of pampas snobbery
What others wish of belonging
May not be the sound for me
The end is the beginning
From where music makes it's start
I chose to follow Harlequin
Drum Major of my heart
Harlequin Drum Major
I will follow thee
To the grandest orchestra
Beyond the boisterous sea
The whisper of my trumpet
Will be one with all the rest
I do not beg a Knighthood
Though...
I'll play my very best
