Some days the trail I follow grows too narrow and too dense
And I can?t always walk along the top rail of the fence
There are times I can?t move forward, times I can?t back out
There are times I can?t fly high, beyond a shadow of a doubt
verse 2
Stubbornly, I struggle on, not knowing what?s ahead
With the tangle still around me when at night I find my bed
I toss and turn, and turn and toss, and hold my pillow tight
Oh, it?s then I go a-walking, I go walking late at night
I go walking late at night, when the world is calm and still
And the stars they light a pathway to the top of Shepherd?s Hill
I lay down my weary body on the cool and tender moss
And I sleep underneath a wooden cross
verse 3
The good shepherd whispers secrets in my ear
Like a breeze, holy secrets, only I can hear
When the morning sun comes softly, I?ll be in my own hard bed
But his gentle voice will linger in my soul and in my head
verse 4
And I?ll rush into the new day, like a penny candy store
Like the greenest adolescent, who doesn?t know the score
But I know where to find him when nothing?s going right
Oh, I know that he?ll be there, when I go walking late at night
I go walking late at night, when the world is calm and still
And the stars they light a pathway to the top of Shepherd?s Hill
I lay down my weary body on the cool and tender moss
And I sleep underneath a wooden cross
Outro
On Shepherd's Hill I'll rest my body under the cool and tender moss
I lay me down underneath a wooden cross
