[00:27.29]Down here in the valley every shadow you see
[00:33.47]Has it's own story
[00:37.49]Down here in the valley every puddle of mud
[00:43.59]Comes from tears and blood
[00:46.43]And it's so hard just to get warm
[00:51.07]That the chill turns into despair
[00:56.84]Will you lift me up with tender care
[01:01.42]Will you wash me clean in the palm of your hands
[01:07.04]Will you hold me close so I can thrive
[01:11.79]When you touch me that's when I know I'm alive
[01:18.26]Down here in the valley nothing's able to grow
[01:24.25]Cause the light's too low
[01:28.30]Folks spend their days digging around for diamonds and gold
[01:34.52]Untill they just get old
[01:37.04]And they don't know anything else
[01:42.04]They don't know they're breathing bad air
[01:47.15]But I'm tired of living like this
[01:52.32]And my soul cries out if you're there
[01:57.96]Will you lift me up with tender care
[02:02.57]Will you wash me clean in the palm of your hands
[02:08.17]Lord hold me close so I can thrive
[02:12.74]When you touch me that's when I know I'm alive
[02:18.71]Call me up to your side
[02:23.73]Draw me up to your light
[02:28.87]Let it blind me lord refine me
[02:33.87]Refine me out of my mind
[02:38.89]Will you lift me up with tender care
[02:43.26]Will you wash me clean in the palm of your hands
[02:48.94]Lord hold me close so I can thrive
[02:53.50]When you touch me that's when I know I know I'm alive
[03:01.72]Will you lift me up with tender care
[03:06.15]Will you wash me clean in the palm of your hands
[03:11.87]Lord hold me close so I can thrive
[03:16.42]When you touch me that's when I know I'm alive
[03:22.05]Lord lift me up with tender care
[03:26.68]Will you wash me clean in the palm of your hands
[03:32.47]Lord hold me close so I can thrive
[03:36.83]When you touch me that's when I know
[03:41.67]I know I'm alive
