He once was a peacemaker and he toiled in the sun He reaped the orchard on his own until the day was done His hand was hard and callused 'cause he didn't have the choice He set so many non-believers till he heard the voice Now he's our shepherd and we're his flock Now he's our captain and our ship's about to dock Now he's our keeper, he keeps us safe from wrath Now he's our father, he's gonna lead us down that path
He once became a beggar when no wealthy had no work He'd sit down in the snowfall till his toes and fingers hurt Every snowflake that fell on him felt like a demon's kiss He suffered countless hardships until he found the Bliss Now he's our shepherd and we're his flock Now he's our captain and our ship's about to dock Now he's our keeper, he keeps us safe from wrath Now he's our father, he's gonna lead us down that path Oh ♪ Alright ♪ They once locked him in prison, though his soul was free from sin They fed him almost nothing till his face was cold and thin He slandered him with every crime that was within their loss He had to face a thousand liars till he knew his cause Now he's our shepherd and we're his flock Now he's our captain and our ship's about to dock Now he's our keeper, he keeps us safe from wrath Now he's our father, he's gonna lead us down that path Now he's our father, he's gonna lead us down that path Yeah
