Sheep, sheep, don't you know the road?
Yes, Lord, I know the road
Sheep, sheep, don't you know the road?
Yes my Lord, I know the road

Don't you know the road by the singing of the song?
Yes, Lord, I know the road
Don't you know the road by the clapping of the hands?
Yes, Lord, I know the road

... praying of the prayer?
... breaking of the bread?

... sharing of the smile?
... waving of the hands?

... loving in your heart?
... making of a friend?
