The Children Of The Valley
Gliding through the valley, there's a river flowing by
The grass is growing slowly, from shore to mountainside
The trees are standing silent, as they rise up to the sky
Can you see the little children, laughing gayly in their play
Does it help you to remember, when the world seemed newyly made
But though they may be little, well there growing everyday
And the world will be theres and there's nothing you can say
There's a whole wide world for us all
Will it lose us if we cannot make the call
You stand upon your mountain, looking down to dusty plain
You've found what you've been looking for, in sedentary vain
But where are all the children? There's nowhere they can play
So they're marching up the valley, to the mountain that they claim
The whole world belongs to us all
We only rent it to the ones who make the call
The greenness of the valley, and the flowers growing wild
Fills the stomach, feeds the soul, lifts the sprit to the sky
So what will you be growing, while you emptying your mine
And what will you be selling, when there's no one left to buy?
What will you remember, when it's time for you to go?
Will it be the pretty valley, or a pile of shiny gold?
And what of all the children? They're bold and fully grown
There writing down the story, of the valley that you stole
