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...
