A Little Lamb Leading

Richard Groff 1957 (Pottstown, Pa.)



I’ll show you how to change without changing
It’s the physical that I’m rearranging

Yes it’s only a matter of seeing
When you know you exist as one being

Though the clouds may appear for a day
Yet the blues never get in your way

You’re just walking right into the Son
And the living has only begun

Straight forward the path has been marked out
And although you can see it’s still dark out

In the mourning again the Son rises
But you must avoid all compromises

The shepherds have all gone astray
Now the sheep are left leading the way
