The Valley

The Valley - k.d. lang

I live

In the hills

You live in the valleys

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 love of the light on the land

And the blackbird's cry

You will walk

You will walk

You will walk in good company

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

You will walk

You will walk

You will walk in good company

I love the best in you

You love the best in me

Though it's not always easy

Lovely

Lonely

We will walk

We will walk

We will walk in good company

The shepherd upright

And flowing

You see
