This is part of a larger project, a narrative piece. In this song Troubadour introduces the ideas and the main character, King, who finds himself in a mundane life but believes he is worth so much more.

4: TROUBADOUR
(The tale is set.)
(You ready?)
"Let me tell you a tale,
Costs the time to hear:
A coin of ancient worth
For your understanding.
The king who tilled the soil,
Not a herdsman to his name:
His destiny, it seems,
Replaced with toiling.
From the death of all he owned,
To the wilderness alone:
Lost inside his dreams,
He sees a vision.
Did the prophet name the child?
So Many meanings in a name.
Are the promises of truth there,
A destiny to claim?
When the hours turn into years,
His point seems far away: (But)
Can a man alive with meaning
Be made within a day?
Wait and see.
Wait and see!
(Sigh.)
