Benedictus

Strawbs - Benedictus



The wanderer has far to go

Humble must he constant be

Where the paths of wisdom

Distant is the shadow of the setting sun.



Bless the daytime

Bless the night

Bless the sun which gives us light

Bless the thunder

Bless the rain

Bless all those who cause us pain.



Yellow stars may lead the way

All diversions lead astray

While his resolution holds

Fortune and good will will surely follow him.



Bless the free man

Bless the slave

Bless the hero in his grave

Bless the soldier

Bless the saint

Bless all those whose hearts grow faint.
