From This Valley - The Civil Wars
.
Oh the desert dreams of a river
That will run down to the sea
Like my heart longs for an ocean
To wash down over me
.
Oh, won't you take me from this valley
To that mountain high above?
I will pray, pray, pray
Until I see your smiling face
I will pray, pray, pray
To the one I love
.
Oh, the outcast dreams of acceptance
Just to find pure love's embrace
Like an orphan longs for his mother
May you hold me in your grace
.
Oh, won't you take me from this valley
To that mountain high above?
I will pray, pray, pray
Until I see your smiling face
I will pray, pray, pray
To the one I love
.
Oh, the caged bird dreams of a strong wind
That will float beneath her wings
Like a voice longs for a melody
Oh, Jesus carry me
.
Oh, won't you take me from this valley
To that mountain high above?
I will pray, pray, pray
Until I see your smiling face
I will pray, pray, pray
To the one I love
Oh, I will pray, pray, pray
Until I see your smiling face
I will pray, pray, pray
To the one I love
.
