The Valley

[Verse 1]

I live in the hills

You live in the valley

And all that you know

Are these blackbirds

You rise every morning

Wondering what in the world

Will the world bring today?

Will it bring you joy

Or will it take it away?

And every step you take is guided by

The map of the light on the land

And the blackbird's cry

[Chorus]

You will walk

You will walk

You will walk in good company

[Verse 2]

The valley is dark

The burgeoning holding

The stillness obscured

By their judging

You walk through the shadows

Uncertain and surely hurting

Deserted by the blackbirds

And the staccato of the staff

And though you trust the light

Towards which you wend your way

Sometimes it feels all that you wanted

Has been taken away

[Chorus]

You will walk

You will walk

You will walk in good company

[Bridge]

I love the best in you

You love the best in me

Though it's not always easy

Lovely? Lonely?

[Chorus]

We will walk

We will walk

We will walk in good company

[Outro]

The shepherd upright and flowing

You see
