Well the morning's so bright

And the lamp is alight

And the night, night is as black as the sea, oh yes

There will be peace in the valley for me, some day
Expressing hope for future tranquility and harmony.
There will be peace in the valley for me, oh Lord I pray

Well the bear will be gentle

And the wolves will be tame

And the lion shall lay down with the lamb, oh yes

And the beasts from the wild

Shall be lit by a child

And I'll be changed, changed from this creature that I am, oh yes
