A New Crusader

As flower petals soon decay
the days of youth have passed away
today he would be made a knight
to vow to do what must be right
to live according to his code
to pay with life the debt he owed
to follow his dreams was now the plan
for he must soon become a man
how he had longed to wander free
to chase the lady destiny
some voices singing in his heart
that this would only be the start
and gazing up into the night
he saw the north star burning bright
his future now was in his hands
for he must become a man
A whole new world to see
a brand new man to be
so gallantly he climbed
his fortune soon to find
A new crusader
brave and bold
a new crusader
fortune told
a new crusader
on his way
a new crusader
starts today
Today he knelt before the king
and swore the vows upon his ring
and with the evening's gentle sigh
to all his friends he said goodbye
and turned around for one more look
another small page in the book
and rode off in the setting sun
a lifetime journey just begun
A whole new world to see
a brand new man to be
so gallantly he climbed
his fortune soon to find
A new crusader
brave and bold
a new crusader
fortune told
a new crusader
on his way
a new crusader
starts today
