Gold In Them Hills
酷玩(Coldplay) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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

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

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
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...

There is a difference between Cultural appropriation and cultural appreciation they are appreciating how beautiful this culture really is

@bri1550

Cultural appropriation is wearing the culture...it's not appreciating when beyoncé is here wearing cultural pieces. Appreciating is eating the food and learning about it.

@kailey1928

+Brianna Moreno appreciating isnt just about the food

@Sonmmmxuan

+Brianna Moreno there's no rule to ban a foreigner to wear traditional customes, as long as they don't downgrade its value.
