Of all the shepherds in the land –  
The story has been told  
There’s one whose days are never bland  
Made from a different mold

The grass is greener where he walks  
The sky a deeper blue  
No dogs to steer and guide his flocks  
they are a loyal crew

on mountain after mountain pass  
they follow him about  
where they’ve passed through, there is no grass  
but soon enough, it’ll sprout

they fear no predator or thief  
and I hear, my oh my  
that when they hear JUMP from their chief  
they simply ask: how high?
