THE SHEPHERD

😢 TELL THE SHEPHERD 😢 

 

Tell the shepherd

That his sheeps are starving 😢 

Tell him 

That the pasture is no longer greenish Tell him

That an enemy has mixed in yellow grasses 😢 😢 

Tell him 

I refused to eat from the pasture because it's no longer greenish 😢

Tell him 

😢 I ran away from the pasture because the grass have been poisoned 😢 

And my stomach was purging me

 

Oh tell him

Tell him 

Tell him 

 

And that's why I have decided to run after the greenish pasture 😢 

Lest the poison inflict me

Lest the poison afflict me

Lest it sidekick me 😢 

 

Tell the shepherd 

That his sheeps are thirsty 

Tell him 

That the river is no longer pure 

Tell him 

That an enemy again have mixed in impure liquid 

Tell him 😢 😢 

That I refused to drink from the river because it's no longer pure 

Tell him 

That I ran away because the the river have been poisoned 

And my stomach is killing me 

Tell him 😢 

Tell him 😢 

Oh tell him 😢 😢 

 

For he allowed the goats to mixed up with the sheeps

He allowed the serpents to mixed up with the sheeps

He allowed the dogs to come in amidst with the sheeps 

😢 😢 

 

And have chosen to become wolf in shepherd clothing 

That is why I have to run out 😢 

Lest I be devoured 

Lest I endeavor to be like them 

Lest I be corrupted 😢 🙇 😢 

 

Tell the shepherd

That this is not what the the shepherd of all shepherds told him to do 

Tell him 

That this not how the chief shepherd planned it to be 😢 😢 

Tell him 

That he have allowed the serpent to sneak in replace of the shepherd 

 

That is why I have to leave lest I become like them
