You gotta walk that lonesome valley,

You gotta walk it by yourself,

You gotta walk it by yourself.

That he was a preacher too.

E                  E
Daniel was a Bible hero,

In a den of hungry lions

Through a valley far away,
       A                E
Nobody else can walk it for you,

They can only point the way.

But they cannot go for you.

Don't want nobody to walk it for me,
          E       B7   E
I'm gonna walk it by myself.
