“Shepherd Boy” is a reference to the life of David. Before becoming king, David was a shepherd boy tending to the sheep. Throughout the song, Scott shows how he can relate to David.
This is the third track on the album.
[Verse 1]
It's like nobody ever looks at you, overlooking everything you do
Even when you try to make it through (Nobody seems to be considering you)
See I'm just thinkin' that you gotta go through
A little moment where you feel see-through and I be lyin' if I ever told you (That it was easy, easy for me to)
Try to be so cool even when people undervalue everything I do yeah
Even when I think I know the Truth
And I know that I'll provide myself cause I know what I'm called to
Maybe that's just foolish looking for exceptions from a few
[Pre-Chorus]
If I could beat a lion and a bear
Slay a couple giants then my people would care
But will it really matter in the end
'Cause where I gotta go they can't take me there
But I'ma do the best I can cause people depend on who I am
And even I admit that I am not much to look at
[Chorus]
I'll be the one that you can send even though I am not perfect
I'll be your (Son), I'll be your (Voice), I'll be the (One), I'll be your (Choice)
I'll be the one that you depend on to help people make it in
I'll be your shepherd boy, I'll be your shepherd boy!
[Verse 2]
Now there were days when I called you for help
To try to get my life on track
Well maybe I just gotta humble myself (See I never really thought about that)
I know at times I forget that you are good all the time
See I don't mind playing a minor role so you can shine cause I
Try to be so cool even when people undervalue everything I do yeah
Even when I think I know the Truth
And I know that I'll prove myself cause I know what I'm called to
Maybe that's just foolish looking for exceptions from a few
[Chorus]
I'll be the one that you can send even though I am not perfect
I'll be your (Son), I'll be your (Voice), I'll be the (One), I'll be your (Choice)
I'll be the one that you depend on to help people make it in
I'll be your shepherd boy, I'll be your shepherd boy!
I'll be the one that you can send even though I am not perfect
I'll be your (Son), I'll be your (Voice), I'll be the (One), I'll be your (Choice)
I'll be the one that you depend on to help people make it in
I'll be your shepherd boy, I'll be your shepherd boy!
