Lyrics
In the Valley of Search, we begin our quest, A journey through the heart, a sacred test. With a soul that seeks, and a heart so pure, Through winding paths, we must endure.
Through trials and tribulations, we find our way, The dawn of wisdom, in the light of day.
In the Valleys of the Soul, where the spirits rise, Through the Valleys, we seek the skies. With hearts of fire, and wings of light, We journey through the night.
In the Valley of Love, where the heart’s aflame, We burn with passion, and cast off shame. A love so fierce, it knows no bounds, In every heartbeat, the truth resounds.
Through the flames of longing, we find our core, A love eternal, forevermore.
In the Valleys of the Soul, where the spirits rise, Through the Valleys, we seek the skies. With hearts of fire, and wings of light, We journey through the night.
In the Valley of Knowledge, wisdom’s door, We seek the truth, and nothing more. With eyes unveiled, we see the light, In the realm of insight, our souls take flight.
Through the depths of understanding, we ascend, In the light of wisdom, our spirits mend.
In the Valleys of the Soul, where the spirits rise, Through the Valleys, we seek the skies. With hearts of fire, and wings of light, We journey through the night.
In the Valley of Unity, we find our kin, In the oneness of heart, we begin again. All souls as one, in harmony, In the embrace of love, we are free.
Through the bonds of unity, we stand tall, Together in spirit, we will not fall.
In the Valleys of the Soul, where the spirits rise, Through the Valleys, we seek the skies. With hearts of fire, and wings of light, We journey through the night.
In the Valley of Contentment, peace we find, A tranquil heart, a quiet mind. With every breath, a song of grace, In the arms of serenity, we embrace.
Through the calm of acceptance, we find our peace, In the stillness of the soul, our troubles cease.
In the Valleys of the Soul, where the spirits rise, Through the Valleys, we seek the skies. With hearts of fire, and wings of light, We journey through the night.
In the Valley of Wonderment, awe we see, The mysteries of creation, vast and free. With eyes wide open, and hearts aglow, The wonders of the universe, we know.
Through the gaze of wonder, we find the truth, In the beauty of existence, eternal youth.
In the Valleys of the Soul, where the spirits rise, Through the Valleys, we seek the skies. With hearts of fire, and wings of light, We journey through the night.
In the Valley of Poverty, we shed our pride, With nothing to hold, we’re unified. In absolute nothingness, we find the All, In the depths of surrender, we heed the call.
Through the void of self, we find the divine, In the embrace of the eternal, we align.
In the Valleys of the Soul, where the spirits rise, Through the Valleys, we seek the skies. With hearts of fire, and wings of light, We journey through the night.
