"Inigo"

Copyright 2012, Tano Music

Words & Music by Tom Sperrazzo

Child of a time when tales of chivalry charmed;

Sent to be trained to lead defenders in arms;

Fullness of life--this knight lacked one great test:

To rescue from harm a maiden in distress.

 

Called to the fight to save a neighboring town;

The cannon's harsh bite and all at once you were down;

Carried back home to heal wounds and wait;

There in the books, you read your earthly fate.

 

Leader of souls for the greater glory of God;

Teacher of hearts to form defenders of Truth;

Sender of men to the very ends of the earth;

Venerable INIGO, loyal to the Truth!

 

Choosing the path of the very poorest and then

Writing a plan to guide a company of men;

Honing their minds--a thousand spirits they stand!

Yet humble you bow, and wait your Lord's command.
