Peace In The Valley
Jools Holland & His Rhythm & Blues Orchestra & Ruby Turner Lyrics

Oh well, I'm tired and so weary
I am exhausted and full of fatigue.

But I must go alone
I have to undertake the journey alone.

Till the lord comes and calls, calls me away, oh yes
I will continue on this path until I am called upon by the Lord.

Well the morning's so bright
The sunrise is a joyous experience.

And the lamp is alight
The world is illuminated with vibrant colors.

And the night, night is as black as the sea, oh yes
The darkness is almost overwhelming.

There will be peace in the valley for me, some day
One day, the valley will be full of peace.

There will be peace in the valley for me, oh Lord I pray
I humbly pray that the Lord will bring peace to the valley.

There'll be no sadness, no sorrow
There will be no more grief or sadness.

No trouble, trouble I see
The valley will be free of any problems or difficulties.

There will be peace in the valley for me, for me
The peace in the valley will be mine to cherish.

Well the bear will be gentle
Even the wildest of animals will be calm.

And the wolves will be tame
Aggressive creatures will be docile.

And the lion shall lay down by the lamb, oh yes
Even the most ferocious predator will coexist with its prey peacefully.

And the beasts from the wild
Wild animals will no longer pose a threat.

Shall be lit by a child
The pure innocence of a child will bring light to the darkest corners.

And I'll be changed, changed from this creature that I am, oh yes
I will undergo a profound transformation from my current self.
