Hello, I get to sing another great one
That was written by Emmy herself
ย
There's a valley of sorrow in my soul
Every night I hear the thunder roll
Like the sound of a distant gun
Over all the damage I have done
And the shadows filling up this land
Are the ones I built with my own hands
There is no comfort from the cold
Of this valley of sorrow in my soul
There's a river of darkness in my blood
And through every vein I feel the flood
There is no bridge for me to cross
No way to bring back what is lost
Into the night, it soon will sweep
Down where all my grievances I keep
But it won't wash away the years
Or one single hard and bitter tear
And the rock of ages I have known
Is a weariness down to the bone
I used to ride it like a rolling stone
Now I just carry it alone
ย
There's a highway rising from my dreams
Deep in the heart I know it gleams
For I have seen it stretching wide
Clear on across to the other side
Beyond the river and the flood
And the valley where for so long I've stood
With the rock of ages in my bones
One day I know it will lead me home
