| Lyrics: |
What once made me strong
Will soon be the end of me
The first rung of the ladder
Is no place to stay
I could never find a reason
Not to blow my mind
Until I felt my mind
Start to break
Raking at the jaw bone
Creaking in the weak knees
Standing still and staring out
Everything has a threshold
For fundamental change
And often with the humans
It’s comes down to the pain
Pressing face to floor boards
Calling out the Lord’s name
Praying for another breath
I walk the fields
With my staff of lightening
Herding the sheep
That show me my homeland, I am
Hat on my head
And high in the saddle
Follow the river
Follow the cattle, I am
Anyone who knows me
Knows I like to make up a lot of plans
But I still have faith in my will to live
I have a tool to use here
It is the praising breath
It is the singing
Of your name
Picking up my boot straps
Dusting off my dirty knees
Looking straight ahead
I walk the fields
With my staff of lightening
Herding the sheep
That show me my homeland, I am
Hat on my head
And high in the saddle
Follow the river
Follow the cattle, I am
