[Verse 1]
I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
And I fear no evil because I'm blind to it all
And my mind and my gun, they comfort me

And I will dwell on this earth forevermore
I said, I walk beside the still waters, and they restore my soul
But I can't walk on the path of the right because I'm wrong

[Outro]
'Cause I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
And I fear no evil because I'm blind
Oh, and I walk beside the still waters, and they restore my soul
But I know when I die, my soul is damned
But I know when I die, my soul is damned
Through the Valley was written by Shawn James.
