Down here in the valley
Every shadow You see
Has its own story
Down here in the valley
Every puddle of mud
Comes from tears and blood
And it's so hard just to get warm
That the chill turns into despair
Will You lift me up with tender care?
Will You wash me clean in the palm of Your hand?
Will You hold me close so I can thrive?
When You touch me, that's when I know I'm alive
Down here in the valley
Nothing's able to grow
'Cause the light's too low
Folks spend their days
Digging 'round for diamonds and gold
'Til they just get old
And they don't know anything else
They don't know they're breathing bad air
But I'm tired of living like this
And my soul cries out, "If You're there...
Call me up to Your side
Draw me up to Your light
Let it blind me
Lord, refine me
Refine me out of my mind
Every shadow You see

Will You hold me close so I can thrive?
When You touch me, that's when I know I'm alive
Nothing's able to grow

Digging 'round for diamonds and gold
'Til they just get old
And they don't know anything else
They don't know they're breathing bad air

And my soul cries out, "If You're there...
Draw me up to Your light
Let it blind me
Lord, refine me
Refine me out of my mind

awwww....I love the beat to this song, the words are great, and they are awesome in concert, if they ever come to your town definitely go, they are awesome. And the concerts are total worship nights or days it is so great.
this is an incrediable song...basically it's saying that there are so may people in despair they don't even know it they are so blinded by greed and ignorance...but this person is asking God to lift him out of this and hold him so he can be close to the heart of God where he belongs, so he can be free of what the world is know only in Jesus will he truly live.....
this song says that people are just stuck ina trap of sin but if they let God hold them and love them, they will THRIVE. you have to put your heart in the hands of Jesus.

This song kind of paints a picture of life before Christ. This fallen world...
