[Verse 2]
Some days had passed before he came
To Camelot's great noble hall
The King stepped forth and spoke his name
And welcomed him before us all
I saw him talk with Guinevere 
Her voice was warm, her words sincere
She made him welcome from the start
And brought such gladness to my heart

[Chorus]
You are the Knight I'll never be
But that means all the world to me
I've fought my battles, earned my name 
But no two hearts are forged the same
Where I have fallen, you stand true
And I could wish no more from you
The greatest gift life gave to me
My son
The Knight I'll never be

[Verse 3]
King Arthur called his Knights to ride
And I stood watching at his side
Then Galahad came into view
To face the best that Arthur knew
His skill was plain for all to see
But there was something greater still
He fought with quiet dignity 
And showed his strength of heart and will

[Chorus]
You are the Knight I'll never be
But that means all the world to me
I've fought my battles, earned my name
But no two hearts are forged the same
Where I have fallen, you stand true
And I could wish no more from you
The greatest gift life gave to me
My son
The Knight I'll never be

[Verse 4]
An empty seat within the hall
Had long been feared by one and all
Prophecy had long foretold
A Knight whose heart was pure as gold
For that pure Knight the seat was made
And all the others stood afraid 
We dared not play the chosen part
Each knew the faults within our hearts

Within our hearts

[Bridge]
Then Galahad approached the chair
No trace of doubt or fear was there
The ancient prophecy was true
My son had done what none could do
I proudly watched him take his place
The chosen Knight of Heaven's grace

[Chorus]
You are the Knight I'll never be
But that means all the world to me
I've fought my battles, earned my name
But no two hearts are forged the same
Where I have fallen, you stand true
And I could wish no more from you
The greatest gift life gave to me
My son
The Knight I'll never be

My son

The Knight I'll never be
