There Is A Valley - Bill Fay

There is a valley where the tree stand tall and an icy wind blows

Trees don’t speak, but they speak to each other

Of the people long ago

When the soldiers came and took away the villages one by one

And the fury of that moment they felt

But could only silently look above

There is a mountainside where sheep are grazing with their young

Sheep don’t speak, but they speak to each other

Of a killing long ago

When the people came and sacrificed their children to the sun

And the fury of the moment they felt

But could only silently look above

There is a hill near Jerusalem that wild flowers grow upon

Flowers don’t speak, but they speak to each other of a crucifixion

Just because he said he was the son of God

And the fury of the moment they felt they could only silently look upon

Every city bar brawl, every fist-fight, every bullet from a gun

It’s written upon the palms of the Holy One

Every city bar brawl, every fist-fight, every bullet from a gun

It’s written in the palms, in the palms of the Holy One
