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
