From This Valley Lyrics - The Civil Wars - The Civil Wars

Oh the desert dreams of a river 

That will run down to the sea 

Like my heart longs for an ocean 

To wash down over me 

Oh won't you take me from this valley 

To that mountain high above 

Oh I will pray, pray, pray till I see your smiling face 

I will pray, pray, pray to the one that I love 

Oh the outcast dreams of acceptance 

Just to find pure love's embrace 

Like an orphan longs for its mother 

May you hold me in your grace 

Oh won't you take me from this valley 

To that mountain high above 

Oh I will pray, pray, pray till I see your smiling face 

I will pray, pray, pray to the one that I love 

Ooh, whoa oh, whoa oh oh 

Ooh, whoa oh, whoa oh oh 

Oh the caged bird dreams of a strong wind 

That will flow beneath her wings 

Like a voice longs for a melody 

Oh Jesus, carry me 

Oh won't you take me from this valley 

To that mountain high above 

Oh I will pray, pray, pray till I see your smiling face 

I will pray, pray, pray to the one that I love 

Oh I will pray, pray, pray till I see your smiling face 

I will pray, pray, pray to the one that I love
