Ah, don't let me grow bitter I pray

Give me strength to carry on my way

I'm leanin' on you like a wooden cane

Well, I'm walkin' through, I'm walkin' through

The valley of pain

I'm believin' there's a reason for this trial

This too shall pass in a little while

Oh, Lord have mercy if I complain

Well I'm walkin' through, I'm walkin' through

The valley of pain

Yes, I'm walkin' through, I'm walkin' through

The valley of pain

Paint me in a river of my tears

Whisper hope and truth, courage in my ears

Well, when I'm hurtin' I have a dangerous tongue

And I lose it and use it like a gun

Oh, wont you stop me if you see me takin' aim?

Well, I'm walkin through, I'm walkin' through

The valley of pain

If I'm walkin' through, I'm walkin 'through

The valley of pain

Yes, I'm walkin through, I'm walkin through

The valley of pain

Paint me in a river of my tears

Whisper hope and truth and courage in my ears

Remind me when I reach the other side

I'll be thankful for every tear that I cry

Ah, don't let me grow bitter I pray

Give me strength to carry on my way

Ah, don't let the darkness drive me insane

Well, I'm walkin through, I'm walkin through

The valley of pain

If I'm walkin through, I'm walkin through

The valley of pain

Yes, I'm walkin through, I'm walkin through

The valley of pain
