These are the lyrics from Mumford and Sons The Cave

It's empty in the valley of your heart



The sun, it rises slowly as you walk


Away from all the fears


And all the faults you've left behind






The harvest left no food for you to eat


You cannibal, you meat-eater, you see


But I have seen the same


I know the shame in your defeat






But I will hold on hope


And I won't let you choke


On the noose around your neck






And I'll find strength in pain


And I will change my ways


I'll know my name as it's called again






Cause I have other things to fill my time


You take what is yours and I'll take mine


Now let me at the truth


Which will refresh my broken mind






So tie me to a post and block my ears


I can see widows and orphans through my tears


I know my call despite my faults


And despite my growing fears




But I will hold on hope


And I won't let you choke


On the noose around your neck






And I'll find strength in pain


And I will change my ways


I'll know my name as it's called again






So come out of your cave walking on your hands


And see the world hanging upside down


You can understand dependence


When you know the maker's hand






So make your siren's call


And sing all you want


I will not hear what you have to say






Cause I need freedom now


And I need to know how


To live my life as it's meant to be






And I will hold on hope


And I won't let you choke


On the noose around your neck






And I'll find strength in pain


And I will change my ways


I'll know my name as it's called again

This song is pretty apt for the period we're going through at the moment. I've felt that for a long while I've had to hold onto hope to get through tougher times. But I feel like I'm coming out of the cave now. But now is the time where I am craving freedom, and living my life as it is meant to be lived. The Maker's hand is surely a reference to the Creator God? I have found immense strength through the pain. There's so much linking this song to my life at the moment. Loving it!
