Start in the Valley by Everwild Collective
No one reaches the summit in a single step - we've gotta start down in the valley and work our way up. That's what this upbeat hillbilly bluegrass anthem is all about.
Lyrics
You've gotta start in the valley
If you're ever gonna reach the peak
You've gotta weather the winter
If it’s the spring you seek
You gotta start down in the shadows
If you’re ever gonna find the light
Start in the valley
If you're ever gonna reach the height
If you want a heap of bounty
You gotta look down at your toes
You’ve gotta dig right through the gravel
If you’re ever gonna strike the gold
You've gotta start in the valley
If you're ever gonna reach the peak
You've gotta weather the winter
If it’s the spring you seek
You gotta start down in the shadows
If you’re ever gonna find the light
Start in the valley
If you're ever gonna reach the height
When you’re out on shifting water
And you’re bound to lose it all
You gotta row right through those rapids
If you're ever gonna find the calm
Every sunrise starts down low
Before it climbs to touch the sky
Every mountain started 'neath the ground
Before it reached the heavens high
You gotta walk that trail step by step
Until your knees are worn
You gotta climb that cliff pitch by pitch
To see the golden morning born
You've gotta start in the valley
If you're ever gonna reach the peak
You've gotta weather the winter
If it’s the spring you seek
You gotta start down in the shadows
If you’re ever gonna find the light
Start in the valley
If you're ever gonna reach the height
Start in the valley
If you're ever gonna reach the height
Reach the height
