The Alley in the Valley
By Michael Flipp
9/2/16

I went down
Down the alley on the dark side
It was wide
I was feeling nothing on the inside

Cuz I just didn't care
About nothing but me
And that Alley was my home
It was all mine to roam

There was no escape
I didn't think I made a mistake
I chose the alley
Way down in that valley

Day after day
I was digging in trash cans
I didn't want to leave
I didn't have no plans

Cuz I liked it, I really liked it....
For a long long while
But what I didn't know
Was how low that valley went

It went so very deep
I began to weep...
Oh God can You
Oh God will You
Save a wretch like me
Take me out of this alley?
This deep dark valley?
Oh Lord save me!

Oh sweet music to His ears
On His face you'll see His tears
Just cry out to Him
You'll see this for yourself
It will be so real
He'll bring you to Himself
