about

This beautiful English folk melody, combined with words by Jan Struther, gives a rare but essential message which the twins sing no lack of conviction. We may think that the days of knights and chivalry are over (and not before time some would say) but the reality is that young people have as much of a battle before them as any legendary knight ever did. The struggles and temptations that children face as they grow will demand all of their gentleness and bravery to overcome. Perhaps the image of a knight errant, striving to serve the poor and protect the weak, is as relevant as it has ever been...

lyrics

When a knight won his spurs in the stories of old,
He was gentle and brave, he was gallant and bold;
With a shield on his arm and a lance in his hand,
For God and for valour he rode through the land.

No charger have I, and no sword by my side,
Yet still to adventure and battle I ride,
Though back into storyland giants have fled,
And the knights are no more and the dragons are dead.

Let faith be my shield and let joy be my steed
‘Gainst the dragons of anger, the ogres of greed;
And let me set free, with the sword of my youth,
From the castle of darkness, the power of truth.
