lyrics

Valley Of Green

The search goes on
For what has gone
That giving resource
Quietly changed its course
Water’s drained away
Leaving hard baked clay
Now arid and dry
Only vultures fly

CH
The drought it hides away the will
Beneath the sand
Does the life lie dormant still
There in the land?
Will the rains come
Awaken the buried seed?
Leaves stretch to feel the sun
When they take up what they need

Will the river return?
Or will this all burn?
Oh that valley of green
That once was seen
Can be found for a new day
Need not fade away
Here is now time for action
Escape the tools of distraction
