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...
