Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I must go alone
Till the lord comes and calls, calls me away, oh yes
Well the morning's so bright
And the lamp is alight
And the night, night is as black as the sea, oh yes
There will be peace in the valley for me, some day
There'll be no sadness, no sorrow
No trouble, trouble I see
There will be peace in the valley for me, for me
Well the bear will be gentle
And the wolves will be tame
And the lion shall lay down with the lamb, oh yes
And the beasts from the wild
Shall be lit by a child
And I'll be changed, changed from this creature that I am, oh yes
There will be peace in the valley for me, some day
There will be peace in the valley for me, oh Lord I pray
There'll be no sadness, no sorrow
No trouble, trouble I see
There will be peace in the valley for me, for me

Oh well, I'm tired and so weary
I am feeling exhausted and worn out
But I must go alone
I have to continue on my journey without any companionship
Till the lord comes and calls, calls me away, oh yes
I will keep going until the time when the Lord summons me to be with Him
Well the morning's so bright
The morning is filled with light and hope
And the lamp is alight
The lamp is shining and illuminating the path ahead
And the night, night is as black as the sea, oh yes
But the night is still dark and uncertain
There will be peace in the valley for me, some day
I have faith that there will be a time when there is peace in my life
There will be peace in the valley for me, oh Lord I pray
I am praying to the Lord for peace in my life
There'll be no sadness, no sorrow
There will be no more pain or heartache
No trouble, trouble I see
I will no longer experience any turmoil or distress
There will be peace in the valley for me, for me
I will finally find the peace that I have been seeking
Well the bear will be gentle
Even the fiercest of animals will be peaceful
And the wolves will be tame
Wild animals will become docile and friendly
And the lion shall lay down with the lamb, oh yes
Even the most powerful and dangerous animals will coexist peacefully
And the beasts from the wild
All wild animals
Shall be lit by a child
Will be guided by the innocent and pure
And I'll be changed, changed from this creature that I am, oh yes
I will be transformed into a new and better version of myself
