Along the valley, on the outskirts of town Gathered in the orchard, holding tight to this parched ground We can stand together patient and strong Oh Lord, I know it won't be long You may be uprooted. You may be cast down You may move freely. You may be bound If we stand together patient and strong Oh lord, I know it won't be long (It won't be long) Rain will come (It won't be long)Sun will shine (It won't be long) Tears will fall, both yours and mine If we stand together and we sing this song Oh lord, It won't be long You may be twisted and bent with years You may be blistered, consumed, in fear If we stand together patient and strong Oh lord, I know it won't be long If it isn't sharpened, an axe will rust A hear is hardened if it knows no trust If we stand together and we sing this song Oh lord, I know it won't be long
