Gold in them hills

I know it doesn't seem that way

But maybe it's the perfect day

Even though the bills are piling

And maybe Lady Luck ain't smiling

But if we'd only open our eyes

We'd see the blessings in disguise

That all the rain clouds are fountains

Though our troubles seem like mountains

[Chorus]

There's gold in them hills

There's gold in them hills

So don't lose heart

Give the day a chance to start

Every now and then life says

“Where do you think you're going so fast”

We're apt to think it cruel but sometimes

It's a case of cruel to be kind

And if we'd get up off our knees

Why then we'd see the forest for the trees

And we'd see the new sun rising

Over the hills on the horizon

[Alternate Chorus]

There's gold in them hills

There's gold in them hills

So don't lose faith

Give the world a chance to say

A word or two, my friend

There's no telling how the day might end

And we'll never know until we see

[Chorus]

There's gold in them hills

There's gold in them hills
