A feeling of relief
A feeling of peace
I found this one day
In a blooming valley
Walking through the grass
Brushing against the flowers
A soft pastel sunrise
All across the horizon
A river runs towards the north
Dew drops clothing each blade of grass
Here I find a sense of security
I can be myself here
Singing so that the melody echoes
The mountains joining in my song
How long I sit and sing I don't know
Hours can pass but I don't leave
Why would I want to
When I leave this valley
I return to the world's evil and sin
Of course I can't stay in my valley forever
For then I'd never acquire courage
This world is full of sin
I am only able to leave my valley
Because I leave knowing I can return
I rise to my feet
And take one last look around
My lungs fill with the crisp clean air
This is my sanctuary
Here I can be myself
I walk back to the fence
The wooden barrier between my two worlds
A whisper escapes my mouth
Goodbye relief and peace
You've renewed my hope
Tomorrow is only a day from now
Then I shall return
