[Intro]
[Verse]
Come my beloved ones, come follow me home
Come when it s time your days here are done
I am the Shepherd, I gather my own
Leave fear and hunger and follow
[Verse]
Come, oh my forest ones, come follow me home
Chipmunk and owl, raccoon and jay
Come from the cool shadows hid from the day
Leave your deep forest and follow
[Verse]
Come, oh my meadow ones, come follow me home
Woodchuck and mole, kestrel and quail
Come from your burrows, your grass-winding trails
Leave your bright meadow and follow
[Chorus]
Follow me down the wide world
Follow me home, my children
[Verse]
And all my river ones, come follow me home
Muskrat and loon, otter and crane
Come from the high banks, the reeds in the rain
Leave your brown river and follow
[Verse]
And all my mountain ones, come follow me home
Bighorn and bear, cougar and hawk
Come from the timberline, windy grey rock
Leave your wild mountain and follow
[Chorus]
Follow me down the wide world
Follow me home, my children
[Verse]
And all my ocean ones, come follow me home
Petrel and seal, curlew and whale
Come from the combers in calm and in gale
Leave your grey ocean and follow
[Verse]
And all my friends of man, come follow me home
Lovebird and cat, plough-horse and hound
Come from your fireside, in farmstead and town
Leave your bright homestead and follow
[Chorus]
Follow me down the wide world
Follow me home, my children
[Verse]
Come when you hear the call, come follow me home
Come from the hill, the valley, the sea
Hunters and hunted ones, gather to me
Leave all you know and follow
[Chorus]
Follow me down the wide world
Follow me home, my children
[Chorus]
Follow me down the wide world
Follow me home, my children
