The Wooden Sky - Child Of The Valley lyrics

They came all the way from town to see us And I know how you'd hate to let them down But I've been thinking about the times since they saved us And wondering why you ever stuck around You were born a fair child of the valley Low times felt you were tethered to the ground You're not a stone You're not a stone I came to know the names of all my neighbours Made a home in a valley of my own And I took a night the audience were strangers Though not one could ever calm me down But I felt alone I felt alone Just flesh and bone Just flesh and bone And I came home to find you at my table Said the worries that had plagued you now were few And I'd been wondering if I had the strength to face it Son if I found mercy surely you can too But you're not a stone You're not a stone You're not a stone Just flesh and bone Just flesh and bone And now you hold the hand of one who named you Turned to me and said you must make these words your own
