As I walk down through the valley
|
I breathe in the angel mist
|
With nothing to protect me
|
From this place that the devil blessed
|
I walk with arms wide open
|
And I dream where the wild winds blow
|
Faith will give me shelter
|
And time my own reward
|
|
See my soul is alive
|
And these dreams are real
|
I will not let fear rule my life
|
Or how I feel inside my heart
|
All the rest of my days
|
On the wings of a dove
|
Carry me away
|
To the left I feel the joker
|
Tug and pull there at my coat
|
To the right I feel the thieves
|
Choke and dagger at my throat
|
Stumbling through the darkness
|
Like a drifter in the night
|
Shaking off the violence
|
Until the fall of the morning light
|
|
You see they put it in the papers
|
Around the world and on the air
|
They run it down the wire
|
Baby (until we're tired
|
And we just don't care
|
I know we can make it
|
We can make it if we try
|
We can rise above this mess
|
And fly in a clear blue sky
|
|
I know when the light falls on me
|
There ain't nothing I can't overthrow
|
There ain't nothing I can't overcome or come to know
|
So lay your heavy load down on me
|
Strip everything I have away
|
I am not your prisoner
|
I am not afraid
|
