Situations often seem so useless

Nagging pain that persists in your head

Dismal memories help you struggle through the daytime

Keep yourself well fed

And the leaders say that things could be so good

If you would just smile and respect our word

Because there is gold at the end of the rainbow

Or haven't you heard

So don't worry when the going gets heavy

Don't worry or even ask why

Because there's a garden near a village called Toytown

where pigs can fly, or the new tooth

Underneath your pillow

Will the fairies come and take it away

And there's gold at the top of the mountain

Or so they say

And you wanted to find a far better way out

Than this tired little world in which you found yourself

And you wanted to break free

And you struggle and shout

But you don't know that you're underground yourself

Running backwards, running into the same place

Wondering how you're supposed to react

There's a dream that could come true in the morning

As a matter of fact

Social customs try to make decisions

Wondering what you're supposed to do

Throw a stone in a pool of icy water

Make a dream come true

Running backwards, running into the same place

Wondering if you're going to end the race so strong

Just don't ask me, be content in the knowledge that it won't be long

Keep on smiling in spite of all the conditions

Keep on singing although it all seems grey

Because there's gold at the top of the mountain,

Or so they say
