  • I know it doesn't seem that way
    But maybe it's the perfect day
    Even though the bills are piling
    Maybe Lady Luck ain't smiling

    But if we only open our eyes
    We'd see the blessings in disguise
    That all the rain clouds are fountains
    Though our troubles seem like mountains

    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's cruel, but sometimes
    It's a case of cruel to be kind

    And if we 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 and horizon

    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
    We'll never know until we see

    That there's gold in them hills
    There's gold in them hills
    So don't lose heart
    Give the day a chance to start

    There's gold in them hills
    There's gold in them hills Writer/s: Ron Sexsmith
