Lyrics of The valley song

You took me to the highest mountain,
To show me the world that you know.
You said that when you reach the top,
There's only one place to go:
To the valley below.
To the valley below.

You took me out to the desert,
To help me understand my thirst.
When you cut out the middleman,
The scene went from bad to worst.
The scene went from bad to worst.

You took me to the largest city,
To meet all of the people there,
These sons and daughters of darkness
Hid faces filled with despair,
Hid faces filled with despair.

You took me so deep underground,
That i certainly thought i'd die.
There wasn't much to laugh about,
But i surely learned how to cry.
I surely learned how to cry.

You brought me back on the high seas,
Where i tasted life's ups and downs.
You taught me all i'll ever need
To turn my own life around.
To turn my own life around.

Thanks to you i'm forever free
To live, to learn, and to grow,
And i can promise you this, my friend,
There's one place that i'll never go:
That's to the valley below,
To the valley below.
