Where that lamb fell down
Was I supposed to praise my Lord
Make some kind of joyful sound?
He said, "Listen, listen to me now
I go round and round
And you, you are my only child."
Do not leave me now
Do not leave me now
I'm broken down
From a recent fall
Blood upon my body
And ice upon my soul
Lead on, my son, is your world
{Instrumental}
God is telling mankind that they are now in charge of running the world, and it’s their responsibility to create justice in it. 
 
 The same sentiment is Fully expressed in another Leonard Cohen song “The Captain"
