Searching Gold

We left our goals behind overnight.
They told us there was a place to find.
We were all wrapped up in winter coats.
Searching gold in the midnight cold.
We traveled arm-in-arm at the same pace.
Keeping each other warm in the rising storm.

Searching gold.
Where's the gold that we'll share as we share the road?

Tree trunks had fallen down on our way.
Rocks of the ice age that would not stir.
We lifted all that troubled our haste.
One spell, one voice for one single aim.

Searching gold.
Will we find it?
Where's the gold that we'll share as we share the road?

One step left, I'm bound to lead the herd.
They're only trailing behind what can I say?
They're only trailing behind what can I say?

As the horizon cleared
We let go of our hands
Each one hurried to be
The first where gold flows out
Oh silent rejoicing when one of us stumbled
Oh silent rejoicing when one of us failed
