Los Lobos - The Valley lyrics

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 please
D 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
