City Of Gold lyrics

There is a city of gold
Far from the rat-race that eats at your soul
Far from the madness and the bars that hold
There is a city of gold.
There is a city of light
Raised up in heaven, and the streets are bright
Glory to God, not by deeds or by might
There is a city of light.

There is a city of love
Surrounded by stars and the power above
Far from this world and the stuff dreams are made of
There is a city, city of love.
There is a city of grace
You drink holy water in a sanctified`s place
one`s afraid to show their face
There is a city, a city of grace
[interlude]
There is a city of peace
Where all [foul form of] destruction will cease
When the mighty have fallen and there`s no police
There is a city, a city of peace
There is a city of hope
Across the ravines by the green sunlit slope
All I need is an axe and a rope
To get to the city of hope.
[interlude]
I`m headed for the city of gold
Before it`s too late, before it gets too cold
Before I`m too tired, before I`m too old
I`m headed for the city of gold
There is a city of gold (ad lib)
