Plain and the Valley

Heavy lays the heart that wanders free Built to long eternally For a love that waits on a distant shore Far beyond, far away I've been one who travels far from home Traced the steps my fathers roam Drank the waters blessed by the new wine skin And I've learned songs from the broken hearts of men And all the beast of the field Beg for a garden Somewhere life can settle down Where peace makes a sound And a choir of rain covers the plain and the valley When your legs grow tired of your aimless feet And all your friends grow out of reach And every road you walk grows strangely dim May a light by the window guide you in All the birds of the air Toil without care Tomorrow breaks every plan and bends every man And every child ever born Is forced to be torn from the garden To wander the plain and the valley
