Renaissance Man
Walker Weber & Annabelle Nobis
Original by Bruce Moss, A Newfoundland folk singer/songwriter
Chorus
I’m a renaissance man, born and bred
I’ll be one ‘till I die
I’m proud to be a friend of faire
Here’s the reason why
I’m free as the wind and I’m strong as a bear
There’s no place I would rather be than here at Sherwood Faire
Verse 1
My first experience it was
At the Scarborough faire
Although I had an awesome time
They have no camping there
The faire it was so beautiful I felt a change in me
What made me fall in love it was the proud community
Chorus
I’m a renaissance man, born and bred
I’ll be one ‘till I die
I’m proud to be a friend of faire
Here’s the reason why
I’m free as the wind and I’m strong as a bear
There’s no place I would rather be than here at Sherwood Faire
Verse 2
Now TRF was my first love but my heart now bears a scar
They’ve tried to price the rennies out, they took it way too far
They thought they were the only faire then realized desperately
Can’t change our way of living or destroy our revelry
Chorus
I’m a renaissance man, born and bred
I’ll be one ‘till I die
I’m proud to be a friend of faire
Here’s the reason why
I’m free as the wind and I’m strong as a bear
There’s no place I would rather be than here at Sherwood Faire
Verse 3
My home is here at Sherwood Faire
It’s where I find my peace
And everytime I’m in these woods
My love it does increase
The bonds we share, the songs we sing, the tales we fondly weave
(All)
Once you come to our Sherwood Faire you’ll never want to leave
Chorus
I’m a renaissance man, born and bred
I’ll be one ‘till I die
I’m proud to be a friend of faire
Here’s the reason why
I’m free as the wind and I’m strong as a bear
There’s no place I would rather be than here at Sherwood Faire
