Jeff Black - The Valley lyrics

rate me

The Valley

as I walk down through the valley

I breathe in the angel mist

with nothing to protect me

from this place that the devil blessed

I walk with arms wide open

and I dream where the wild winds blow

faith will give me shelter

and time my own reward

see my soul is alive

and these dreams are real

I will not let fear rule my life

or how I feel inside my heart

all the rest of my days

on the wings of a dove

carry me away

to the left I feel the joker

tug and pull there at my coat

to the right I feel the thieves

choke and dagger at my throat

stumbling through the darkness

like a drifter in the night

shaking off the violence

until the fall of the morning light

you see they put it in the papers

around the world and on the air

they run it down the wire

baby (until we're tired

and we just don't care

I know we can make it

we can make it if we try

we can rise above this mess

and fly in a clear blue sky

I know when the light falls on me

there ain't nothing I can't overthrow

there ain't nothing I can't overcome or come to know

so lay your heavy load down on me

strip everything I have away

I am not your prisoner

I am not afraid
