O Man!

Why do you tend a flock of sheep?

If in the tranquil nooks of your soul, the heart weeps…

If it doesn’t drape responsibility, and ache for the prayers to keep…!

O Man!

Why do you tend a flock of sheep?

 

When the dawn is due and nothing to reap

Why then harvest, When there’s nothing to keep

O Man!

Why do you tend a flock of sheep?

Why tears rolling down your face when your eyes ripped beyond reach…!

Why do vocals struggle, when ears are used to hear cacophony?

O Man!

Why do you tend a flock of sheep?

Be composed!

Don't prison self in a cramped niche!

Liberate your soul, let acumen paint the world!

Don't keep lips groaning; let the symphony of possibility dance..!

O Man!

Why do you tend a flock of sheep?

For suffering always finds death in the tolerant Might!
