Lyrics The Valley - Los Lobos

The Valley

In ancient times, to a place so far away
Across the land, where the earth was as tough as clay
Looked at their hands, looked all around
And they seemed pleased at what they had found
Here in the valley, bread on the table
Work through the day, for as long as we are able
Green is the valley, blue is the night
Out of the shadows, into the light
They could’ve gone, but instead they chose to stay
To watch the clouds way up high, as they turned to gray
Then through the dark, broke a crimson sun
And at that moment, knew their lives had just begun
Here in the valley, bread on the table
Work through the day, for as long as we are able
Green is the valley, blue is the night
Out of the darkness, into the light
Here in the valley, bread on the table
Work through the day, for as long as we are able
Green is the valley, blue is the night
Out of the darkness, into the light
