If I was a good shepherd

And had a herd of sheep

Protect them all and guide them

The baby lambs I would keep

I would carry them on my back

So vulnerable and mighty

Safe in the round coral

No matter black or white

Away from all butchers

From villages and towns

And the hungry smoochers

Carnivores and clowns

I watch them run around

My green meadow field

Protect from rabbits and hounds

Inside my little shield

And you my little lambs

Follow the good shepherd

Don’t stray away from the path

You will face a sudden death
