You’ve got to walk that lonesome valley

“You've got to walk that lonesome valley,

You've got to walk it by yourself.

And nobody else can walk it for you,

You've got to walk it by yourself.”

When I was young

I used to wonder

Who I was

And where I’m going

I used to wonder

Why no one told me

Then I learned

That no one knows.

Once I was

So very lonely

I didn't know

Why I was born

Then I found

A girl who loves mes

Felt so good

I felt re-born.

Even so

She’s still a stranger

To what goes on

Inside my soul

She’s a world

Of comfort to me

But there’s so much

That can’t be told.

So listen kids

I’m trying to tell you

Makes no difference

Who you are

It’s you life

And you've got to live it

So find your own

Guiding star.
