And once again,
The king was reminded
That the happiest man
In his enormous castle
Wasn't the wise wizard
Nor the praised warrior
But the foolish pierrot
Who danced,
At his own heart's tune
While he may have all the fortune
And all his wishes at his hands
The foolish pierrot had his love
And as the simpleton he was
He held satisfaction at that
He would watch the smiles
And feel glad for bringing them to be
He would trip and fall countless times
And as the foolish pierrot he was
He would just mend his wraps
Smiling dazzling to the croud
That's why the king loved him
That's why he hated him
That's why all envied and mocked the fool
Who could just be in love
Get hurt, cry in pain
And fall again, as if nothing mattered
Just to see those smiles
It took the king time and time again
And as he concluded, he knew regret would come
For noticing what really mattered wasn't easy
To realize he couldn't give his kingdom
For that simple life
That simple way of loving
Was realizing that no gold, no power
Could bring to his heart a change
Could make him happier than the foolish
For that foolish pierrot
Knew no fear, no pain
Or at least, would soon forget about them
Would soon be up and out again
Loving, laughing, hurting and insisting
As no king,
No wizard,
No warrior
Would dare have the courage
To ever try to imitate
