this is a valley that i m walking through and it feels 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 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 baptized this earth well down in the valley valleys fill first out 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 most clear so i stay in this valley if it takes 40 years down in the valley dying of thirst when i m down in the valley it seems that i m at my worst my consolation is that you baptized this earth well down in the valley valleys fill first and it s like that long saturday between 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 oh i m down in the valley dying of thirst when i m down in the valley it seems that i m at my worst my consolation is that you baptized this earth well down in the valley valleys fill first when you pour on your water valleys fill first
