No one ever said it would be easy
There'll be days like that, my daddy used to say
But somehow there was comfort in the knowing
The things ain't always gonna go your way
Sometimes this wicked world is like a wasteland
When our dreams feel cold and dry as a dead man's bones
Lonely and lost we keep on going
Just trying to find a way to get back home
So I wrote this song in hopes that it might reach you
There's a promise I made and mean to keep
To the living, beating heart of all creation
The light in all that is, who never sleeps
Who never will forget you or forsake you
The one who's always calling for the black sheep
All you black sheep
All us black sheep
In this world it's said we will have trouble
Lifetime after lifetime we all try
To grow until we know the truest knowing
One with the one who hides behind your shining eyes
One with the one who hides behind our shining eyes
So I wrote this song in hopes that it might reach you
There's a promise I made and mean to keep
To the living, beating heart of all creation
The light in all that is, who never sleeps
Who never will forget you or forsake you
The one who's always calling for the black sheep
All the black sheep
All you black sheep
All us black sheep
Oh yeah
