Bruce Cockburn Shepherds Lyrics

Shepherds Lyrics

They wake up suddenly in the night There is light And figures dancing in the sky
Clothed in more colours than the world can contain 



And all the
silences of the night Leap in song Like that of a river cascading from the wild
mountain to the slow human plain 



Gloria! Gloria in the highest!




A child's cry sounds from far away It's almost day And in the
brown-air town away below Three travelers reap a star harvest and then go on
their way again 



Gloria! Gloria in the highest! Gloria! Gloria in
the highest
