Chorus Ensemble:

(Chorus)

Francis The Poverello, peace and good,
He is the herald of the Great King!
The King fool herald, such a lover of The Word,
A fool, a poet, yes, he’s surely mad!

(Verse)

A thousand times, his mellow voice
would sing, sing, sing…
A troubadour of praise unto
the King, King, King…

For creating fire, wind and rain,
The flowers scent in June,
A note of thanks for Brother Sun
and lovely Sister Moon!

(Chorus)

Francis The Poverello, peace and good,
He is the herald of the Great King!
The King fool herald, such a lover of The Word,
A fool, a poet, yes, he’s surely mad!

(Verse)

He talks to all God’s creatures
Like no-one-else would…
Embracing a poor Leper,
without glove or hood…

When temptations plague him and the demons…
try to play their part,
He regains peace by always giving
Jesus Christ his heart!

(Chorus)

Francis The Poverello, peace and good,
He is the herald of the Great King!
The King fool herald, such a lover of The Word,
A fool, a poet, yes, he’s surely mad!

(Verse)

His Brothers are his Brothers,
yes unto the very end…
His Sisters, praying Sisters,
are his true friends…

His giving never ends…
His suffering a test…
In death… There’s life, said he…
Heaven’s the quest!

(Chorus)

Francis The Poverello, peace and good,
He is the herald of the Great King!
The King fool herald, such a lover of The Word,
A fool, a poet, yes, he’s surely mad!…

Francis:

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!
They have no idea what I’m about!
