There Won’t Be Trumpets

Those smug little men with a smug little schemes
They forgot one thing
The play isn't over by a long shot yet
There are heroes in the world
Princes and heroes in the world
And one of them will save us
Wait and see
Wait and see

There won't be trumpets
Or bolts of fire
To say he's coming
No Roman candles
No angels' choir
No sound of distant drumming
He may not be the cavalier
Tall and graceful
Fair and strong
Doesn't matter
Just as long as he comes along

But not with trumpets
Or lightning flashing
Or shining armor
It may be daring
He may be dashing
Or maybe he's a farmer
We can wait
What's another day?
He has lots of hills to climb
And a hero
Doesn't come 'til the nick of time

Don't look for trumpets
Or whistles tooting
To guarantee him
There won't be trumpets
But sure as shooting
You'll know him when you see him

Don't know when
Don't know where
And I can't even say that I care
All I know is the minute you turn
And he's suddenly there
You won't need trumpets!
There are no trumpets!
Who needs trumpets?
