Finally Someone Listens (Sir Kay)

[Verse 1] I carried keys and carried blame while greater men collected fame every feast and every hall someone had to run it all Broken gates and missing wine late-night problems, always mine yet somehow when the stories came nobody remembered Kay's name Arthur laughed and waved me by another year, another sigh the king had room for every fool except the one who kept the rules [Pre-Chorus] I stood beside the throne for years swallowing frustration watching lesser men receive their endless celebration [Chorus] Finally someone listens finally someone sees all the work behind the curtains all the things beneath the keys Finally someone notices what Camelot ignored if Arthur doesn't want my counsel Mordred surely can afford it [Verse 2] Round Table heroes, noble knights always chasing glorious fights while I was counting stores and grain trying to keep ahead of pain Percival had quests to chase Lancelot another pretty face Gawain had songs sung everywhere and I had inventories to share No bard ever sang of budgets no lady praised logistics yet kingdoms fall a lot more quickly when nobody is realistic [Pre-Chorus] They wanted dreams I wanted plans guess which one survives? [Chorus] Finally someone listens finally someone sees all the work behind the curtains all the things beneath the keys Finally someone notices what Camelot ignored if Arthur doesn't want my counsel Mordred surely can afford it [Bridge] Mordred asked a simple question "What do you think?" Imagine that. Nobody had asked me that in twenty years. Twenty years. [Solo] [Final Chorus] Finally someone listens finally someone knows every kingdom needs foundations before a kingdom grows Finally someone values the man behind the door so if Camelot won't have me I don't belong there anymore [Outro] Arthur... you never noticed. Mordred did. That makes all the difference.
