So have you been to the valley lately Have you noticed that the shepherd is gone So walk gently lady As you walk along Cos I once fought for his forces But that cross bears nothing now I've seen all but your Crusades succeed And it's growing sour Gonna be a long time waitin Things are always looking little better when you're on the back Side of them And then you know all that you think you might need to know But even then, my little wing, you'll have to grow You'll have to grow So have you been to your garden lately No Jesus Christ, he ain't nowhere to be seen He is not there matey He has never been So have you been to your church lately No cannot find the key to your home There is no support for you now my friend They got problems of their own Gonna be a long time waitin Things are always looking little better when you're on the back Side of them And then you know all that you think you might need to know But even then, my little wing, you'll have to grow But even then, my little wing But even then, my little wing You'll have to grow
