I know it doesnt seem that way
But maybe its the perfect day
Even though the bills are piling
And maybe Lady Luck aint smiling

But if wed only open our eyes
Wed see the blessings in disguise
That all the rain clouds are fountains
Though our troubles seem like mountains

Theres gold in them hills
Theres gold in them hills
So dont lose heart
Give the day a chance to start

Every now and then life says
Where do you think youre going so fast
Were apt to think it cruel but sometimes
Its a case of cruel to be kind

And if wed get up off our knees
Why then wed see the forest for the trees
And wed see the new sun rising
Over the hills on the horizon

Theres gold in them hills
Theres gold in them hills
So dont lose faith
Give the world a chance to say...

A word or two, my friend
Theres no telling how the day might end
And well never know until we see
That theres gold in them hills

Theres gold in them hills
So dont lose heart
Give the day a chance to start

Theres gold in them hills...
Theres gold in them hills...
