Through the Valley

This is not the path we asked for
This not we what we perceived
Another road we would have chosen
If this is what we have received
My dear, we’ve got to take a moment
To get the air back in your chest
What are we not to tell our families
Of the cancer or the fear in which I’m dressed
Oh and when the lighting strikes
Or when the thunder rolls
Or when the sky is blazing
With a fire we’ve never known
When all enemies surround us
At a table not our own
I know we’ll make it through the valley
And your hand I’ll always hold
I’m nose to nose with all my failures
I made a list of all my wrongs
Should I have changed all my behaviors
Should I have seen this all along?
Well, you’re the last one to deserve this
Your eyes are kind, your heart so pure
You love me even at a distance
So now I’ll love you fully in return
Oh and when the lighting strikes
Or when the thunder rolls
Or when the sky is blazing
With a fire we’ve never known
When all enemies surround us
At a table not our own
I know we’ll make it through the valley
And your hand I’ll always hold
Your hand I’ll always hold
And though the darkness tries to shake us
While we’re running through the night
And while our fear will try to tell us
We should give up every fight
I know the battle’s far from over
But I’m never backing down
For you I’d fight off every army
'Til I’m six feet in the ground
Til I’m six feet in the ground
Oh and when the lighting strikes
Or when the thunder rolls
Or when the sky is blazing
With a fire we’ve never known
When all enemies surround us
At a table not our own
I know we’ll make it through the valley
And your hand I’ll always hold
