Looking out over the desert plain
Life is dull and gray
There is one sign of hope
Small and green in the distance
A single ray of sunlight shines down
Heaven opens up, could it be love
The tree is green
The only life for miles
Myth tells of the shepherd underneath
Life shows no shepherd, but I do believe
The tree is more than shade
It is the life in the desert
Hope in a hell of heat
Life in a lifeless place
Surviving regardless of conditions
Growing and living
God bless the shepherds tree
And it’s lesson in life
