This is the valley that I'm walking through And if fells like forever since I've been close to you My friends up above me don't understand why I struggle like I do My shadow's my only, my only companion and at night he leaves too Down in the valley, dying of thirst
Down in the valley, it seems that I'm at my worst My consolation is that you baptize this earth When I'm down in the valley, valleys fill first
Down in this wasteland I miss the mountaintop view But it's here in this valley that I'm surrounded by you Though I'm not here by my will it's where your view is the most clear So I'll stay in this valley it takes 40 years
And it's like that long Saturday your death and the rising day When no one wrote a word, wondered is this the end But you were down there in the well, saving those that fell Bringing them to the mountain again
