Lyrics
(Verse 1)
On an island far away, in a monastery snug,
There lived a merry monk, known for his pious mug.
He'd pray and chant all day, with a heart so pure and true,
But oh, poor Brother Benedict, had a quirk known to a few.
(Chorus)
Oh, Brother Benedict, with your habits so divine,
You struggle with your "tism," but still, you brightly shine.
In your daily trials, you find joy along the way,
Oh, Brother Benedict, let us sing your praise today!
(Verse 2)
With every task he'd take, his "tism" would come to play,
Misplacing keys and books, in quite a charming way.
He'd forget his morning chores, and sometimes even meals,
But oh, the laughter that he brought, with his innocent appeals.
(Chorus)
Oh, Brother Benedict, with your habits so divine,
You struggle with your "tism," but still, you brightly shine.
In your daily trials, you find joy along the way,
Oh, Brother Benedict, let us sing your praise today!
(Bridge)
From ringing bells at dawn to tending to the vines,
Brother Benedict's mishaps were a source of grand designs.
But through it all, his faith remained, steadfast and unwavering,
A testament to love and grace, in his endearing quavering.
(Verse 3)
Now as the sun sets low, on the island's peaceful shore,
Brother Benedict reflects, on all that life has in store.
With laughter in his heart, and a twinkle in his eye,
He knows his "tism" brings joy, under the azure sky.
(Chorus)
Oh, Brother Benedict, with your habits so divine,
You struggle with your "tism," but still, you brightly shine.
In your daily trials, you find joy along the way,
Oh, Brother Benedict, let us sing your praise today!
(Outro)
So let us raise our voices high, in praise of Brother Benedict,
For in his simple, humble way, he teaches us to be ad rem.
Though his "tism" may cause a stir, his spirit soars above,
Oh, Brother Benedict, you're a beacon of God's love.
Oh, Brother Benedict, you're a beacon of God's love.
