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
