SPOTLIGHT CAEDMON'S CALL

"Valley's Fill First"

This is the valley that I'm walking through
And if feels like forever
since I've been close to you
My friends up above me don't
understand why i struggle like i do
My shadow's my only,only companion
and at night he leaves too

Down in the valley, dying of thirst Down in the valley, it seems that I'm at my worst My consolation is that you baptize this earth When I'm down in the valley, valleys fill first

Down in this wasteland I miss the
mountaintop view
But it's here in this valley that
I'm surrounded by you
Though I'm not here by my will
it's where your view is the most clear
So I'll stay in this valley it takes 40 years

Down in the valley, dying of thirst Down in the valley, it seems that I'm at my worst My consolation is that you baptize this earth When I'm down in the valley, valleys fill first

And it's like that long Saturday
your death and the rising day
When no one wrote a word,
wondered is this the end
But you were down there in the
well, saving those that fell
Bringing them to the mountain again
