"The Clown the Queen and the Old Man" ~ by Brian Estes


I saw an old man standin’ up for what was right
I saw an old man standin’ up for what was right
Everybody tried to stop him but he couldn’t give up the fight

Said we gotta feed the hungry, Heal the sick folk too
Gotta feed the hungry, Heal the sick folk too
It’s time to stand together, no time to sing the blues

The boss and the banker decided he had to go
The boss and the banker decided he had to go
If he can’t be bought, we’re gonna have to lay him low

He was a truth teller with the people in his heart
He was a truth teller with the people in his heart
But the Clown and the Queen had a scheme to tear him apart

Clown played the fool ‘cause the people do love a show
Clown played the fool ‘cause the people do love a show
But with your eyes on the clown, where’d little Queenie go?

She snuck along the fence row sowing seeds of fear
She snuck along the fence row sowing seeds of fear
“If you follow the Queen then the Clown will disappear”

The old man stood when they tried to make him bow
The old man stood when they tried to make him bow
Said “Cut ‘n’ run” but the old man didn’t know how

A bird came down just to hear that old man’s words
A bird came down just to hear that old man’s words
Go fly little birdie tell the children what you heard
A hundred million people showed up at the castle gate
A hundred million people showed up at the castle gate
When Queenie heard ‘em knockin’ she knew it was much too late

They caught that clown he was runnin’ out the back
They caught that clown he was runnin’ out the back
When he saw them comin’ the clown had a heart attack

I saw an old man standin’ up for what was right
I saw an old man standin’ up for what was right
Everybody tried to stop him but he said, "Don't give up the fight."
Everybody stand together and never give up the fight
