Valley Below - written about Mountaintop Removal Coal Mining.

lyrics

In The Valley Below

In the valley below
Do you hear my screams
Your sins wash down on me man
Washing me clean
I tend your chambers
Drive your limousines
Still you frown upon
upon my dreams

Can you hear me
In the Valley Below

On the mountain above
They are scraping it clean
The dirty lies they hide
Will one day be seen
I scream for justice
Clean coal dirty words
They dirty lies they hide
Will one day be heard

Can you hear me
In the Valley Below

You dump your garbage
Into my streams
It is unfit to drink
and will never be clean
If I had one wish
At the wishing well
Is that they bury you deep
in this valley hell

Can you hear me
In the Valley Below

From five generations of musicians, ministers, poets, that all adds up to a mixture that makes this songwriter who he is. Mixing folk, rock, blues, and Americana music with compelling thoughtful lyrics that reveal more depth with each listen. ... more
