lyrics

IN THE VALLEY

We make our home in the valley
beneath a sky big as time
We walk along in the valley
with our eyes and our minds
then we sit around the fire and tell the tales
of our souls that burn through the night
while shooting stars fall 'round our heads
and move our sight
when we're home in the valley

We make our home in the valley
where the river runs around
We cover these bodies with water
and we sleep on the ground
we sing our songs to the rising green hills
we hear the music of the birds
we learn to sit beneath the quiet
without words...
There are people in this valley
young and yet so old
We hear the music of the treetops singing
like stories we've been told
as we sit beneath the wise old trees
passing the heart of sound around,
leaves like the stars at night
fall and fall without a sound...

We make our home in the valley
and we listen to the land
Here our dreams and situations pass
like sand through our hands
as we move through the heat of the day
beneath skies wide as a heart,
time does a handstand and falls apart
when we're home in the valley

We'll return to the valley
like we have for so long
before the pyramids were even built
we stood here tall and strong
we stood here tall and strong
once the grasses covered all the high plains
once the rivers ran so clear
once the buffalo grazed all around
and all we could hear
was the song of the valley
was the song...
