The Lyrics
As the town cries
On a cold and gray Ohio morn
Headline from the local news brings scorn
In the valley
And the spirit dies
Death comes to Youngstown on Black Monday
When the steel industry fades away
In the valley
People weep upon the land
Where men had forged steel by hand
Hard daily toil and union demands for pay
Where for seventy long years
They had shed sweat and tears
Where they'd built new homes, raised kids,
And planned to always stay..
Destiny turns
And a blast furnace falls - with a crashin' sound
Their hopes and dreams - all come tumblin' down
In the valley
As the mem'ry burns
Fam'lies torn apart - men steal at night
Life they've known so long
Makes a sharp hard right
In the valley
They were days of desperation
Their world was swept away
The jobs were gone - lost their car
Life went on - but it can't go far
When the future dies
Unemployed stand in lines - at food give-aways
Hearts break on the street - through the sad lonely days
In the valley
Thirty five years flies,
On a Two Thousand Twelve Ohio morn
The people survive and new babies are born
In the valley
In the valley
