	Story Behind the Song I read a poem which inspired me. It talked about how those hard times in our life are filled with silence from God, but actually that valley of silence is full of His sounds - in fact those lonely times are precious in terms of hearing from Him. I wanted to give the feeling of being in a valley in this song, so I sang several background vocals with an effect resembling an echo on them. This song seems to be a favorite to those who have heard my tunes. Lyrics VALLEY OF SILENCE I walk down the Valley of Silence Down the dim voiceless valley alone And I hear not the sound of a footstep around me But God's and my own And I hear not the sound of a footstep around me But God's and my own In the hush of the Valley of Silence I hear all the songs that I sing And the notes float down the dim Valley Till each finds a word for a wing And I'm looking for someone A message of peace they might bring Chorus: In the valley - it's low In the valley - so low But you gotta learn how to fly But you gotta learn how to fly...learn how to fly! Far on the deep there are billows That never shall break on the beach And I have heard songs in the silence That never shall float into speech And I have had dreams in the Valley Too lofty for any man's language to reach I can hear the voices of silence Still I thought I was on my own But I have learned that my Father in Heaven is beside me I've got no problems of my own Yes, I have learned that I've got No problems of my own! (Chorus) Do you ask the place of this Valley? To hearts spoiled by care It lies between two far off mountains And God and His angels are there One is the dark mountain of sorrow And one the bright mountain of prayer All you see in the valley are shadows But I can sure tell you one thing If you want to meet the Lord You gotta lay low so He can bring Blessings to you In the valley He visits you (Chorus) I walk down the Valley of Silence Down the dim voiceless valley alone And I hear not the sound of a footstep around me But God's and my own And the hush of my heart is as holy As where angels have flown
