Run, run, faster than you can, boy
Forget where you find joy
Lose sleep about the things you can't see
Your life's not what it could be
But I won't believe a word, a word that you say
Take my whole world altogether
Cause I, I know who holds me
Like sparrows in the trees
And who more am I to my father
Cause while I'm counting sheep, He's counting His
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Goodbye to your wells, they run dry
You're running out of supply
Drink deep of everything your eyes see
Go eat from that fruit tree
Stop, I know that your voice
Steal, kills and destroys
I mind only to my shepherd
And I, I know who holds me
Like sparrows in the trees
And who more am I to my father
Cause while I'm counting sheep, he's counting his
La, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la
And if I die poor, die rich, well, it doesn't really matter
Will the moon crash with the sun?
I don't have the answer
But if the world burns up
My head still lays in green pastures
Cause while we're countin' sheep, He's countin' His
Cause while we're countin' sheep, He's countin' His
Cause while we're countin' sheep, He's countin' His
One, two, three, four
Woah, Woah, Woah
Woah, Woah, Woah
While were countin' sheep
While were countin' sheep
While were countin' sheep
He's countin' His
While were countin' sheep
While were countin' sheep
While were countin' sheep
He's countin' His
