Valley of Death

	Yeah, so I walk into this valley of death
	I don't fear
	so its a pain path down thru here
	I don't scare
	I sharpen blades of life inside
	to slash my way thru the walls of dark weeds
	blocking the light out of this world
	many years away
	its far - far from where I stand
	I walk
	I move
	I have loads of spirit pushing out
	driving my fate deep up the throat of this valley of death
	eating the light out of this world

	minute by minute
	I die some here
	moment to moment 
	I kill more fear
	step by step
	I see light clear

	Yeah, so I bleed thru this valley of death
	I can heal
	so its a wild hard time up out of here
	I can climb
	I grab the stuff of life inside
	to spread my path with signs of me
	echoing the light out of this world
	just breaths away
	so close - close to where I am
	I feel
	I reach
	I have tons of visions pouring in
	pulling me from flowering down in this valley of death
	living in the light out of this world

	minute by minute
	I died back there
	moment to moment 
	I killed the fear
	step by step
	I reached light here
