Ah... don't let me grow bitter I pray Give me strength to carry on my way I'm leanin on you like a wooden cane Well, I'm walkin through; I'm walkin through the valley of the pain I'm believin there's a reason for this trial' This too shall pass in a little while Woh, Lord have mercy if I complain I'm walkin through, I'm walkin through the valley of the pain Yes, I'm walkin through, I'm walkin through the valley of the pain Paint me in a river of my tears Whisper hope and truth - courage in my ears Well, when I'm hurtin I have a dangerous tongue I lose it and use it like a gun Oh wont you stop me if you see me takin aim I'm walkin through, I'm walkin through the valley of the pain If I'm walkin through, I'm walkin through the valley of the pain Yes, I'm walkin through; I'm walkin through the valley of the pain Paint me in a river of my tears Whisper hope and truth - courage in my ears Remind me when I reach the other side I'll b thankful for every tear that I cries Don't let the darkness drive me insane I'm walkin through, I'm walkin through the valley of the pain If I'm walkin through, I'm walkin through the valley of the pain Yes, I'm walkin through; I'm walkin through the valley of the pain
