Lyrics
The Shepherd
She was a mentor, a teacher, a writer
A poet with an ear for music
And a love of the language
She made you feel special
Pulled you into her world
A Shepherd of souls in anguish
But now that she's gone
She's more than all these things
And she lives inside each of our hearts
And we treasure her memory
And live by her creed
Knowing we're never really apart
We're never really apart
She had the kindness that all saints carry
She'd stand back and observe
While digging right into the fabric
Of all these threads
Pulled into our worlds
A Shepherd of souls who seek magic
But now that she's gone
She's more than all these things
And she lives inside each of our hearts
And we treasure her memory
And live by her creed
Knowing we're never really apart
We're never really apart
