The Valley
words and music by Dan Sheehan
from the album The Dan Sheehan Conspiracy

Standing on the Mountain of Indignation
Looking down into a valley of ignorance
Trying to predict the two world's outcomes
Unable to determine a difference

Why does it all have to be so trying
Living in a world full of amazements?
Trying hard to balance our soul's desires
Between our mind's and God's and the government's

Hey Hey!

Roving o'er the lands and cross the stormy seas
We navigate the Earth as far as eyes can see

Beyond the starlit sky of possibilities
The universe provides escape from tragedy

Why does everything have to be decided
In the blur that occurs in a half instant?
How can mind and soul be segregated
Into such disparate elements?

Why does it have to take such endurance
Veering down the path of enlightenment?
Depending on our minds to check the balance
Between our souls and God and the government

Hey hey!

Beyond the starlight sky the Cosmic Entity
Will separate the wise from "those who wish to see"

The quest to comprehend beyond what we can see
The universal bind for those who wish to be
