you are my shepherd babe
i wouldn't have it any other way
my heavenly shepherd
shepherd babe, your'e such a good shepherd
our heavenly shepherd, we wouldn't have it no other way

i wish i was a sheep, instead of a lion
cause then i wouldn't have to eat
animals that are dying

i wish i was a sheep, instead of a lion
cause then i wouldn't have to eat
this meat that is dying.
i wish i was ONE of your sheep
only because i wouldn't have to kill to eat.

oh how i wish i was one of your gentle sheep
only made out of love.
like a bird in a tree
if i was a sheep i'd have to be quick
on my [bad word] away all day
from a lion that's trying to eat.
subdued enough to greet one of
my fellow sheep living so humbly
sympathetic with harmony

have you ever seen two lions when they meet,
egos too big to greet,
one ends up in the others teeth
it wouldn't have to be this way
if they were eating leaves
oh how i always pray i was one of your sheep.
i'm a lion. feeding off sheep
that graze off the leaves and blades
i wouldn't have it any other way.

i'm a lion, hey,
see me living in the shade
i have everone afraid
roaming free, so no-one's safe.
