From This Valley

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 Oh I will pray, pray, pray till I see your smiling face I will pray, pray, pray to the one that I love Oh the outcast dreams of acceptance Just to find pure love's embrace Like an orphan longs for its mother May you hold me in your grace Oh won't you take me from this valley To that mountain high above Oh I will pray, pray, pray till I see your smiling face I will pray, pray, pray to the one that I love Ooh, whoa oh, whoa oh oh Ooh, whoa oh, whoa oh oh Oh the caged bird dreams of a strong wind That will flow 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 Oh I will pray, pray, pray till I see your smiling face I will pray, pray, pray to the one that I love Oh I will pray, pray, pray till I see your smiling face I will pray, pray, pray to the one that I love --- From This Valley - The Civil Wars
