[Verse 1]
So have you been to the valley lately?
Have you noticed that the shepherd is gone?
So walk gently, lady
As you walk along
'Cause I once, I fought for his forces
But that cross bears nothing now
I've seen all but your crusades succeed, and it's
Growing sour

[Chorus]
Yeah, gonna be a long time waitin'
Things are always looking a little better when you're on the backside of them
Then you know all that you think you might need to know
Even then, my little wing, you'll have to grow

[Verse 2]
So have you been to your god lately?
No, Jesus Christ, nowhere to be seen
But he is not, not therе, my matey
Maybe he's nеver been
So have you been to your church lately?
No, cannot find the key to your home
They got no support for you now, my friend
They got problems of their own
[Chorus]
Yeah, gonna be a long time waitin'
Things are always looking a little better when you're on the backside of them
Then you know all that you think you might need to know
Even then, my little wing, you'll have to grow, hey

[Outro]
You'll have to grow
You'll have to grow
You'll have to grow
Oh, grow
