Oh ye of little faith, in time I knew to prove to ye all. (piano soft melody) No monster am I. Gentleman that I am, performs before you now, upon my learnng how to read..think.. compose.. to vocalize my thoughts. My vow I give to you, oh ye who once sought to kill me. My mind seeks not to harm any one of you. My body seeks not any of your young daughters to possess. My heart sill binds me true,to my only love… When dreaming of my love, with long flowing grey hair with a streak of white on a maiden so fair. Long and slender, with a stance of flare. I long to touch her but she’s of no care. She feels no heart strings, no she couldn’d dare, she shreeks from my touch, how could she ever care. When dreaming of my lover, made from the same master as I. Oh if fate could have it, she would feel the same as I. When dreaming of my love, surely that’s all I will ever do. Untill the end of time will my heart ever be true. Dreaming untill my dying days, with a heart that is content to dream…I’m bule ab a de da da ba daba de daba dedaaddadedado
