We’ve been running through the valley of fire
We’ve been running through the valley of fire
The smoke is rising lord, won’t you lift us higher?
We’ve been running through the valley of fire
Wake up children, no time to sleep
Our path is narrow, and our way is steep
We’ve got to get together, give it one more try
You can rest all you want in that sweet by and by We’ve been running through the valley of fire
We’ve been running through the valley of fire
The smoke is rising lord, won’t you lift us higher?
We’ve been running through the valley of fire
Some on the left, some on the right
Some people are meeting in the middle. Some people are looking for a fight
Some people are shouting which way to go If we put one foot in front of the other, we can make it, I know
We’ve been running through the valley of fire
We’ve been running through the valley of fire
The smoke is rising lord, won’t you lift us higher?
We’ve been running through the valley of fire
If your knees give out, if you stumble and fall
If you lose your way, if you hit the wall
I’ll be there to help you carry on We can share the burden. We can sing this song
If our race is run, if we take a look back
Were we running in circles or did we stay on track?
Can you see, brother, where we began?
Can you tell me, sister, how it’s all gonna end?
We’ve been running through the valley of fire
We’ve been running through the valley of fire
The smoke is rising lord, won’t you lift us higher?
We’ve been running through the valley of fire
