Oh mother shelter
A mother is a shelterer
Oh mother shelter
Mother shelter us
From the wild winds howling
Ooooh

Oh father shepherd
A father is a shepherder
Oh father shepherd
Father shepherd us
From the wild wolves howling
Ooooh

Your cities are a wilderland
Look upon your children
Your cities are a wilderland
Look upon your, look upon
Your highways are a wilderland
Look upon your children
Your highways are a wilderland
Look upon your, look upon your
Look upon your children
Wandering in the wilderland
Look upon your children
Wandering in the wood, singing
Ooooh
