Sleepy Valley

It\'s the night after in sleepy Valley,  everything is quite. 

 

No nocturnal\'s scampering, no bird riots

 

Only crickets do I hear, or is it ringing in my ears?

 

Forty past midnight: thinking of failure;

 

The paradox: joy for fear;

 

That\'s what leads me on.

 

It isn\'t always clear, do I fool myself?

 

But still you lead me on...

 

Was I a failure: I saw laughter,  without a tear.

 

Softly, softly, I must tread:

 

Keeping you near.

 

A sheep, not a goat.

 

Forgive me once, Forgive me twice, seventy times seven.

 

I am only flesh and blood, you rule from heaven.

 

Don\'t rebuke me in your hot displeasure,  give me another try...

 

 My joy is to to worship you, without you, I should die.

 

Hold my hand as I stumble, carry me through. .

 

Your the Father to the son, my life is held by you.
