Gold in Them Hills
Ron Sexsmith Lyrics

I know it doesn't seem that way
Although it doesn't appear so, things might be perfect.

But maybe it's the perfect day
This could be an ideal day, even though it doesn't seem like it.

Even though the bills are piling
In spite of the mounting bills.

And maybe Lady Luck ain't smiling
Perhaps we are not having any luck.

But if we'd only open our eyes
If we look closely enough.

We'd see the blessings in disguise
We would comprehend the valuable things concealed in our current condition.

That all the rain clouds are fountains
The clouds that appear to be rain-bearing are not empty inside.

Though our troubles seem like mountains
Although our difficulties appear to be insurmountable.

There's gold in them hills
There are precious things in life that are accessible if we look carefully enough.

There's gold in them hills
This line is repeated for emphasis and motivation.

So don't lose heart
Don't allow yourself to become disheartened.

Give the day a chance to start
Permit the day to develop into something extraordinary.

Every now and then life says
On occasion, life has a message for us.

Where do you think you're going so fast
Questioning where one is rushing off to.

We're apt to think it cruel but sometimes
We usually believe it to be impolite, but sometimes it is for our own benefit.

It's a case of cruel to be kind
It may be hard, but it's for the best in the long run.

And if we'd get up off our knees
If we stop feeling sorry for ourselves.

Why then we'd see the forest for the trees
We would notice the big picture and not only focus on minor issues.

And we'd see the new sun rising
We'd see a new day beginning with infinite opportunities.

Over the hills on the horizon
In the distance, we have a view of endless possibilities.

So don't lose faith
Do not allow despair to erode your faith.

Give the world a chance to say...
Pause and listen to what people and the universe are saying.

A word or two, my friend
Some advice from a friendly person.

There's no telling how the day might end
We cannot foretell how things will turn out today.

And we'll never know until we see
We can't tell what the day has in store for us until it happens.

That there's gold in them hills
There are hidden treasures in the world around us if we look for them.

There's gold in them hills
This line is repeated for emphasis and motivation.

So don't lose heart
Don't lose your courage or hope.

Give the day a chance to start
Give the day an opportunity to show its potential.

There's gold in them hills
There are precious things in life that are accessible if we look carefully enough.

There's gold in them hills
Encouraging us to find the hidden treasures in life.
