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
