The Sheep Need the Grass
From the ‘Sing Young, Sing Joyfully’ collection
1. The sheep need the grass,
The grass needs the earth,
Everything needs each other.
The fish need the stream,
The stream needs the rain,
Everything needs each other.
2. The bird needs the worm,
The worm needs the soil,
Everything needs each other.
The crab needs the tide,
The tide needs the moon,
Everything needs each other.
3. We all need the grain,
The grain needs the sun,
Everything needs each other.
We all share Earth’s life,
A wonderful web,
Gift of the God of all life.
