Wish I was a shepherd With a flock of sheep Sitting on a hillside Grass beneath my feet Watching over loved ones

Go ahead Do your thing I’m waiting With open wings

The world that I was born into Is not the world I want I work to try to get back to A one that values plants

I’m in the darkness You can’t intervene It’s just what I need For light to shine clean

I can blend seamlessly Because I find parts of me In ev’ryone I see

I’ve never wrapped My mind around Making you feel Seen, heard, and found I didn’t know

Ev’rything about my life Tells me that you’re poison If you’ve ever heard of me You know I don’t listen

I am not an actor That is plain to see I am just a shepherd Tending to his sheep Try to keep them safe from

My heart tells me That you’re no good I’m pretty sure That’s why I should I’ve never been

I’m like a pretzel Simple ingredients And a bit twisted

You showed me the switch And all that comes with it Karma’s a bitch

I missed out on Our baby’s clues I didn’t feel Her in your womb But now she’s here

I’ve driven self along my quest I think it might be time for rest To take steps back and then assess What it might mean to be my best

Each moment at hand Is open invitation To the promised land
