Lyrics
Banner
I'm no knight in shining armor
But I am someone who cares
I've no steed to whisk me to safety
But I do have my prayers
Chorus
And the banner I fly is my will to survive
My heart is my sword and my soul is my shield
And with my head held high I will ride out to die
And I guess it's all I deserve
I'm no fool in jesters clothing
But I have been known to cry
I've been taunted and I've been beaten
But still somehow I try
Chorus
And the banner I fly is my will to survive
My voice is my sword and my song is my shield
And with my head held high I will ride out to die
And I guess it's all I deserve
I've seen feast and I've seen famine
And sometimes I've seen too much
I've known crooks and pretentious bastards
And even true love
Chorus
And the banner I fly is my will to survive
My hope is my sword and my knowledge my shield
And with my head held high I will ride out to die
And I guess it's all I deserve
