0 Way before David was a king, he was a shepherd. His first job as a little boy, till age fifteen. As he followed the Don in later years, he realised he's like a shepherd, and people are like sheep. So he wrote a song about it:
1 Jah leads me up life's winding path Like shepherds lead a flock of sheep Guides my steps from dawn to dark Makes sure I'm cosy when I sleep
2 I follow blindly, never knowing Where I am or where I'm going As he leads me, slow or quick To crystal streams from which to sip To greenest fields on which to graze Strength to walk another day
3 He don't just feed my body though He nourishes as well my soul With virtues and nice thoughts to think As that's the stuff souls like to drink He steers me on the holy way The path of virtue every day Always doing right, not wrong In step to the beat of heavensong Folks all know I follow him So he never steers me wrong Else it would look bad on him They'd say he's an evil god or fake They'd lose faith then, and hearts would break So he steers me right, for his good name's sake
4 But it don't mean life is always sweet Sometimes he turns up the heat Folk see me in the dumps, and say If Jah's real, why you look that way? I tut at them and sigh and say:
As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death I take a look at my life. It looks like there's nothing left No skies of blue or fields of green to see A man could lose his sanity But I don't let it get to me I remember Jah is there with me He'll lead me through it, always does To fresh fields, like there always is Wolves in the valleys drool and scoff With his iron rod he sees them off In shadow, hard to see, I stray off track But with his shepherd's crook, he pulls me back

I don't resist. I do as he asks Lest I meet the wolves and breathe my last
5 My rivals watch me jealously Wishing they could be like me Hoping I'll slipup Don't they know Don Jah is guiding me? No way I'll slipup Not too badly anyhoo Just as much as he wants me to Just to teach me a thing or two He's got my back in all I do I gaze at the stars without a care Swim naked in the lake and wash my hair Don't gotta watch my back, the Don is there I can sit at a table to feast and relax Even though my foes can see There's nothing they can do to me They wish they had such tasty food If they want it, they know what they can do Follow the Don. He'll lead them too After all, he made us all We're all his kids. He loves us all
⭐️ With Jah, I've got it made for life He's loyal as a loving wife He'll love me till the day I die Then let me live forever In the city in the sky
