Valley Story Lyrics

Listen children to a story
That was written long ago
About a kingdom on the mountain
And the valley far below
On the mountain was a treasure
Buried deep beneath the stones
And the valley people swore
They'd have it for their very own

So go and lie to your neighbours
Go and cheat a friend
Do it in the name of heaven
You'll be justified in the end
Use some uneasy friendships
To help you on your way
And then wake up tomorrow
And do it all another day

All the people chose to gather
Pondered how to move the stones
All the people were united
Except a boy who worked alone
And an old man who had warned them
About the treasure and it's curse
All the people laughed and pointed
No one thought they'd end up worse

So try and tell your neighbours
Go and meet a friend
Do it in the name of heaven
You'll be justified in the endLos Amigos - Valley Story - http://motolyrics.com/los-amigos/valley-story-lyrics.html
They may refuse to listen
So help them on their way
And then wake up tomorrow
And do it all another day

Almost all the valley people
Went in search of buried gold
They found the stones and then they moved them
And made their way down through the hole
They would soon emerge with treasure
As promised beneath the stones
Everyone was fit and healthy
No curse so they all went home

Too late to warn your neighbours
None will be your friend.
But you did it in the name of heaven
You'll be justified in the end
They all chose not to listen
So you didn't block their way
And you'll wake up tomorrow
And do it all another day

We return here three months later
The populations down to two.
What has happened. Where are people
Nothing here seems rich and new
Everybody wanted treasure
It all sparked a civil war
The boy with no greed still was playing
With the man who warned before…
