I know it doesn't seem that way
But maybe it's the perfect day
Even though the bills are pilin'
Maybe lady luck is smilin'

But if we'd only open our eyes
We'd see the blessings in disguise
and 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
there's a day of 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

but if we get up off our knees
well then we'll see the forest full of trees
and we 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,
"Where are you my friends,
there's no time, another day might end.
We'll never know until we see them."

there's gold in them hills
there's gold in them hills
so don't lose heart
there's a day of chance to start
there's gold in them hills
there's gold in them hills
