Green Valley Road

I've been first and I've been last and
I've been also-ran. I've tried living fast
and living slow.
I've been in the story where a woman
loves a man, and I have known the pain of letting go.
I was always searching for a place I could belong,
where life was ever happy and serene.
I found out that place was here inside me all along;
an endless, winding road, deep in a valley lush and green.

Anytime I go down that green valley road.
And the sun is breaking through the clouds that
crowd the sky of blue,
Then I am reminded how I've lightened up my load,
and my sorrows have become a precious few.
If my lessons to be learned are the troubles that I've known,
I guess I must have learned a thing or two.
But, they can't compare in number to the blessings I've been shown,
So I thank the one above I found that green valley road.

Times are good and times are bad; time keeps movin' on.
No one seems to know just where it goes.
I never could appreciate the good times till they'd gone.
I never saw what's under my own nose.
I was always waiting for a miracle or two to come along and
finally set me free.
Now there's no more waiting for what miracles can do.
I found out the miracle is here inside of me.

Chorus

Let yourself be guided down the green valley road.
Let your heart go on a magic ride.
You may be delighted by the wonders you behold
When traveling the world you hold inside.
