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!
