Analysis of 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
