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
