The mountains are high
And the shadows are deep
And the promises made
Are getting harder to keep
I'm walking on limestone
And breathing in dust
With a heart made of iron
And a soul full of rust
The creek bed is dry
And the harvest is lean
But I've seen the things
That can't quite be seen
There's a silence that screams
And a dark that can blind
But I'm leaving the weight
Of the worry behind
Oh I got faith in the valley
Down in the low
Where the water is hidden
And the bitter winds blow
You can take all the light
Yeah you can bury the sun
But my race with the spirit
Has only begun
Yeah the deeper the darkness
The harder I stand
Faith in the valley
In a hollowed out land
I see the city slicker
Looking down from the peak
Talking 'bout power
While his spirit is weak
He don't know the mercy
You find in the mud
Or the prayer that you whisper
In the sweat and the blood
I'll make it to the bottom
Where the roots grow deep
I got a secret that
The world couldn't keep
Oh I got faith in the valley
Down in the low
Where the water is hidden
And the bitter winds blow
You can take all the light
Yeah you can bury the sun
But my race with the spirit
Has only begun
Yeah the deeper the darkness
The harder I stand
Faith in the valley
In a hollowed out land
Keep on walking
I ain't alone
The valley is wide
But the path is so narrow
I'm flying on hope
Like a stone from a sparrow
Faith in the valley
Shadows don't rally
Vital life tally
