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
