lyrics

There’s gold up on the hill

Well it quite a life, I must confess
And it’s quite a dream, I feel blessed
The story’s getting old, and it’s finally been told
Where there’s, gold up on the hill

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
I’m singing to you, the one I trust
The message sent from home, that he’s finally come home
Where there’s, gold up on the hill

There’s a way, I’m coming home to stay
My heaven awaits me with her smile
Because there’s, gold up on the hill

Well this crown of gold, it never rusts
And this field of dreams I can trust
This cup will overflow, when our hearts have all been full
Because there’s gold up on the hill

There’s a way, I’m coming home to stay
My heaven awaits me with her smile
Because there’s, gold up on the hill

Well now some days are hard, I need rest
And the only thing to do, is do my best
I’m reaching down below; I got a feeling in my soul
That there’s gold up on the hill

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
I’m singing to you, the one I trust
This cup will overflow, because it’s finally full
And there’s gold up on the hill

There’s a way, I’m coming home to stay
My heaven awaits me with her smile
Because there’s, gold up on the hill

Well it quite a life, I must confess
And it’s quite a dream, I feel blessed
The message sent from home, that he’s finally come home
Where there’s, gold up on the hill
