Valleys Fill First

Lyrics:

This is the valley that I’m walking through
And if fells 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, my 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 baptize this earth
when I’m down in the valley, valleys fill first

Down 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 the most clear
so I’ll stay in this valley it takes 40 years

And it’s like that long Saturday 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
