Francis:

I’d like to be A Knight In Shining Armor,
Ready for the fight, the fight that must be won.
There’s a battle in the world and a war inside me,
Troubled war, the darkest night I’ve ever known.

In a prison dark and damp,
I saw myself as I truly am,
A selfish, unforgiving man, a jokester,
An unliving man filled with pain…

I’d like to be A Knight In Shining Armor,
Ready for the fight, the fight that must be won.
There’s a battle in the world and a war inside me,
Troubled war, the darkest night I’ve ever known.

In a prison dark and damp,
I called, I cried, “O, my God, forgive me!”
I have sinned, I’ve caused this pain,
A voice spoke, it said, “Try again! Try again!”

I’d like to be A Knight In Shining Armor,
Ready for the fight, the fight that must be won.
There’s a battle in the world and a war inside me,
“Christ, be my armor and my shield!”

“Christ, be my armor and my shield!”
