we let the shepherds wander through the rocks
the sheep are not lost and won't wander long
one must control the movements of the flocks
you put the prisoner in the public stocks
but all the people chorus his last song
we let the shepherds wander through the rocks
too easily we praise the one who mocks
and do not see such actions as just wrong
one must control the movement of the flocks
there is a better school than old hard knocks
but saying that alone won't make you strong
we let the shepherds wander through the rocks
a wiser one might shake his hoary locks
and take his place within the growing throng
one must control the movement of the flocks
you know enough to withstand the worst shocks
and the best way to work and play along
we let the shepherds wander through the rocks
one must control the movement of the flocks
(C)2007, Fragano Ledgister
