VERSE 1:
| . . . |
Down here in the valley
. . . | . .
Every shadow you see
. |. . .|
Has its own story
. . . |
Down here in the valley
. . . | . .
Every puddle of mud
. | . .
Comes from tears and blood
. | . . . | . .
And it's so hard just to get warm
. | . . . | . . .|
That the chill turns into despair
CHORUS:
| . . . | . .
Will you lift me up with tender care?
. | . . . |
Will you wash me clean in the palm of
. . . |
your hands?
| . . .| . .
Will you hold me close so I can thrive?
. | . . . |
When you touch me, that's when I know
. . .|
I'm alive
VERSE 2:
| . . . |
Down here in the valley
. . .| . .
Nothing's able to grow
. | . . .|
'Cause the light's to low
| . . . |
Folks spend their days
| . . .| . .
Digging 'round for diamonds and gold
. | . .
'Til they just get old
. | . . . | . .
And they don't know anything else
. | . . . |. .
They don't know they're breathing bad air
. | . . . | . .
But I'm tired of living like this
. | . . . | . . . |
And my soul cries out, "If you're there..."
CHORUS
BRIDGE
| . . . |. . .|
Call me up to your side
| . . . | . . .|
Draw me up to your light
| . . .|
Let it blind me
| . . .|
Lord, refine me
| . . . | . . .|
Refine me out of my mind
CHORUS 3x (end on )
