Valley
Alx&r Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm tired and weary
But I must go along
Till the Lord comes to call
Me away, oh Lord

Well, the morning is bright
And the Lamb is the Light
And the night is as fair

As the day

Oh, there will be peace in the valley
For me, for me
There will be peace in the valley
For me, oh, Lord I pray

No more sadness, no more sadness
No more trouble there'll be
There will be peace in the valley
For me, for me

Well, the bear will be gentle
The wolf will be tame
And the lion shall lay down
With the lamb, oh yes

And the (?) from the wild
Will be led by a child
I'll be changed from this creature
That I am

Oh, there will be peace in the valley
For me someday
There will be peace in the valley
For me, I pray

Oh, no more sadness, no more sadness
No more trouble there will be

There will be peace in the valley
For me, for me
