The Valley
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
In ancient times
To a place so far away
Across the land
Where the earth was
As tough as clay
Looked at their hands
Looked all around
And they seemed pleased
At what they had found
Here in the valley
Bread on the table
Work through the day
For as long as we are able
Green is the valley
Blue is the night
Out of the shadows
Into the light
They could have gone
But instead they chose to stay
To watch the clouds way up high
As they turned to gray
And through the dark
Broke a crimson sun
And at that moment
Knew their lives had just begun
Here in the valley
Bread on the table
Work through the day
For as long as we are able
Green is the valley
Blue is the night
Out of the darkness
Into the light
Here in the valley
Bread on the table
Work through the day
For as long as we are able
Green is the valley
Blue is the night
Out of the darkness
Into the light
