Lyrics

Down in the Valley
(Polly Edwards)

A brand new song. I am in the midst of arranging it for choir. Originally written for a Six Corners performance at Eugenia United Church.

There are times when we burden each other
There are times when the rules will not bend
There are times when we murder our brother
There are times of war without end

There are times when children teach mothers
There are times when stones roll uphill
There are times when I know we'll learn better
There are times when I don't think we will

I will walk down to the river
I will walk down to the sea
I will walk down in the valley
Until the answer comes to me

There are times when the aged get younger
There are times when death always wins
There are times when greed rules by hunger
There are times when everyone sins

There are times when the land is our father
There are times when the dammed will not break
There are times when a man walks on water
There are times when the Holy is mundane

Chorus

There are times when children get younger
There are times when stones will not break
There are times when death rules by hunger
There are times when war is mundane

There are times when we burden our father
There are times when the land will not bend
There are times when we murder the water
There are times that are Holy without end

Chorus

Come and walk down to the river
Come and walk down to the sea
Come and walk down in the valley
Until the answer comes to thee
