The Valley - Los Lobos

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
