Erik wrote: "The theme is similar to the Nick's song New Morning. Note also that the line 'There'll be no sadness, no sorrow' also is in New Morning. Finally, the bright day versus black night antithesis is also the same. Well, I'm tired and so weary but I must go along, Till the Lord comes and calls, calls me away, oh, yes, And the mornin's so bright and the lamb is the light, And the night, night is as black as the sea, oh, yes. CHORUS There will be peace in the valley for me, some day, There will be peace in the valley for me, dear Lord, I pray. There'll be no sadness, no sorrow, no trouble I see, There will be peace in the valley for me. The bear will be gentle and the wolf will be tame, And the lion shall lie down with the lamb, that's what it Says, And the beasts from the wild will be led by a child, And I will be changed, changed from this creature that I am, oh, yes. CHORUS

Oh well, I'm tired and so weary But I must go alone Till the lord comes and calls, calls me away, oh yes, Well the morning's so bright And the lamp is alight And the night, is as bright as the day, oh yes. There will be peace in the valley for me, some day There will be peace in the valley for me, oh Lord I pray There'll be no sadness, no sorrow No trouble, trouble I see There will be peace, peace in the valley for me, someday. --- Instrumental --- (Spoken) Well, that old bear is goin' to be gentle And the wolf will be tame And that old lion is gonna lay down by the little lamb, (oh yes) And the beasts from the wild Ohh it's gonna be led by a child (Sang) I'll be changed, changed from this creature that I am, (Oh yes.) There will be peace in the valley for me, some day There will be peace in the valley for me, oh Lord I pray There'll be no sadness, no sorrow No trouble, trouble I see There will be peace, in that old valley for me, someday There will be peace, in that old valley for me...

When You lead me to the valley of vision I can see You in the heights And though my humbling wouldn't be my decision It's here Your glory shines so bright So let me learn that the cross precedes the crown To be low is to be high That the valley's where You make me more like Christ Let me find Your grace in the valley Let me find Your life in my death Let me find Your joy in my sorrow Your wealth in my need That You're near with every breath In the valley In the daytime there are stars in the heavens But they only shine at night And the deeper that I go into darkness The more I see their radiant light So let me learn that my losses are my gain To be broken is to heal That the valley's where Your power is revealed Let me find Your grace in the valley Let me find Your life in my death Let me find Your joy in my sorrow Your wealth in my need That You're near with every breath In the valley Let me find Your joy in my sorrow Your wealth in my need That You're near with every breath In the valley You're near to me

I've been working on my knees, baby, it's alright Everybody got disease, maybe it's alright You can steal from me, baby, that's just fine You can say it's free, baby, that's alright Working on a feeling, breaking down the ceiling, digging up a deep end Freezing on the beaches, reaching for the sweetest, sweetest peaches We won't live too long So let's love for one song The lion won't lay down When the holy man's in town You've been drinking all week, baby, that's alright You've been stepping on me, baby, it's alright You've been tearing me apart in the dead of night I'll be raising my hands when the lightning strikes Working on a feeling, breaking down the ceiling, digging up a deep end Freezing on the beaches, reaching for the sweetest, sweetest peaches We won't live too long So let's love for one song The lion won't lay down When the holy man's in town Working on a feeling, breaking down the ceiling, digging up a deep end Freezing on the beaches, reaching for the sweetest, sweetest peaches We won't live too long So let's love for one song The lion won't lay down When the holy man's in town Working on a feeling, breaking down the ceiling, digging up a deep end Freezing on the beaches, reaching for the sweetest, sweetest peaches

I come from a land of wide open spaces Where the world turns around us and we just follow suit There's heat in the air and peace reigns supreme Got white flags on the clothes lines and the deals are new In the wind The ashes fly The poison crown The charcoal ground And if you can't see the smile in me That's where I wanna be There's only God There's only Christ Think I'll lie down For just a while And the grass became granite and the sky a black sheet Our bed was a graveyard, we couldn't feel our blistered feet And the moaning and groaning and sighing of death And the silence that followed and the very harsh reality So watch and check them out and listen as we learn Throw the pearls before the swine, ebb and flow, turning tide Yes, we watch and catch them no matter how they jump The pigs will have to come to ground, we've got to make it happen It's really not that new, try and make it happen now 'Cause what are we to do, maybe there's a chance for you All around An eerie sound Their dreams a cloud Their world in shrouds In the wind The ashes fly Not much time But time to try And if you can't see the smile in me That's 'cause I wanna be I want to be here at the end I have to be here at the end

Extreme ways are back again Extreme places i didn't know I bought everything new again Everything that i'd owned I threw it out the windows, came along Extreme ways i know move apart The colors of my sea Perfect color me Extreme ways that that help me Help me out at night Extreme places i had gone But never seen any light Dirty basements, dirty noise Dirty places coming through Extreme worlds alone Did you ever like it planned I would stand in line for this There's always room in life for this Oh baby, oh baby Then it fell apart, fell apart Oh baby, oh baby Then it fell apart, it fell apart Oh baby, oh baby Then it fell apart, it fell apart Oh baby, oh baby Like it always does, always does Extreme songs that told me They helped me down every night I didn't have much to say I didn't get above the light I closed my eyes and closed myself And closed my world and never opened Up to anything That could get me along I had to close down everything I had to close down my mind Too many things to cover me Too much can make me blind I've seen so much in so many places So many heartaches, so many faces So many dirty things You couldn't believe I would stand in line for this It's always good in life for this Oh baby, oh baby Then it fell apart, fell apart Oh baby, oh baby Then it fell apart, it fell apart Oh baby, oh baby Then it fell apart, it fell apart Oh baby, oh baby Like it always does, always does
