Peace In The Valley
Romance Watson Lyrics
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 by 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
The lyrics of Romance Watson's "Peace In The Valley" describe weariness and impending departure until there is peace in the valley - a metaphorical representation of heaven. The singer's tone is resolute and reflective, as they grapple with the hardships of life and the promise of an eternal rest. The opening lines suggest a sense of exhaustion and loneliness: "Oh well, I'm tired and so weary/ But I must go alone/ Till the lord comes and calls, calls me away, oh yes". Despite the struggles of the night, the morning brings a glimmer of hope and light, and the singer believes that peace is attainable.
Watson's imagery paints a scene of complete harmony, where even the fiercest creatures on earth become gentle and calm: "Well the bear will be gentle/ And the wolves will be tame/ And the lion shall lay down by 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". This vision aligns with teachings from the Bible about the return of Jesus Christ and the establishment of a new heaven and earth. The repetition of the line "There will be peace in the valley for me, some day" gives the listener a sense of longing and anticipation for the fulfillment of this promise.
Overall, "Peace In The Valley" is a song that offers both mournful reflection and a glimpse of hope for a better future. The use of religious and metaphorical language adds depth and poignancy to the lyrics, and the melody is suitably solemn and reflective.

"PEACE IN THE VALLEY"
by Thomas A. Dorsey
I am tired and weary but I must toil on
Till the Lord come to call me away
Where the morning is bright and the Lamb is the light
And the night is fair as the day
There'll be peace in the valley for me some day
There'll be peace in the valley for me
I pray no more sorrow and sadness or trouble will be
There'll be peace in the valley for me
There the flow'rs will be blooming, the grass will be green
And the skies will be clear and serene
The sun ever shines, giving one endless beam
And the clouds there will ever be seen
There the bear will be gentle, the wolf will be tame
And the lion will lay down by the lamb
The host from the wild will be led by a Child
I'll be changed from the creature I am
No headaches or heartaches or misunderstands
No confusion or trouble won't be
No frowns to defile, just a big endless smile
There'll be peace and contentment for me
