lyrics

At daybreak in the valley the flowers start stirring,
The trees stretch their limbs, and the dew fades away
The water runs through it, the people get to it
Season by season, page after page

Some come and some go, some hope and some know
Some count the years past, some look ahead

I came to this valley with little of value
And not much to show me what I’d need to find
Many here taught me, others here fought me,
Some turn up new ways of changing my mind

The rain offers promise, the wind keeps us honest
The sun likes to run up the score sans regrets
The kinship takes tending, the work’s never ending,
And I wouldn’t dare ask for anything less

At day’s end in the valley the sun climbs the hillside
The breeze falls away, and the evening is still
I think of the time when I wanted it easy
Thankful am I that has gone unfulfilled

The more that I weather, the deeper the tether
Some count the years past, some look ahead
