8. DREAM OF GOLD
Music and Lyrics: Dale Ockerman ©2012 Dale Ockerman Music BMI

THE LIGHT'S SO DIM YOU LOST YOUR WAY
YOU CANT RECALL WHAT GOT YOU HERE TODAY
NEVER REALLY KNOW, TRY AGAIN TOMORROW

ITS BEEN SO WRONG SINCE ITS BEEN RIGHT
WE KNOW ITS WRONG BUT STILL WE FIGHT
IS THAT REALLY ALL THERE IS? THESE TALES OF SORROW

2000 YEARS, WHAT HAVE WE LEARNED?
THE TRIALS AND FEARS, THE BRIDGES BURNED
TO TURN AWAY FROM ALL WE KNOW
ONLY FOR A DREAM OF GOLD

YOU PUT YOUR FAITH IN TRIED AND TRUE
BUT THAT NEVER REALLY DID MUCH OF ANYTHING FOR YOU
HEAVEN IS A STATE OF MIND FOR YOU TO SHINE

IT'S ALL BEEN SAID, SO MANY WAYS
IT'S STILL THE TRUTH NO MATTER WHAT THEY SAY
BUT IF THEY SAYIT ISNT PEACE AND LOVE, THEN THEY'RE LYING, THEY'RE LYING

NOBODY CAN TELL YOU WHATS RIGHT FOR YOU
NOBODY CAN SELL YOU A TICKET TO SHANGRI LA
YOU KNOW THAT ITS TRUE

IT'S ALL BEEN SAID, SO MANY WAYS
IT'S STILL THE TRUTH NO MATTER WHAT THEY SAY
BUT IF THEY SAY IT ISNT PEACE AND LOVE, THEN THEY'RE LYING, THEY'RE LYING
2000 YEARS, WHAT HAVE WE LEARNED?
THE TRIALS AND FEARS, THE BRIDGES BURNED
TO TURN AWAY FROM ALL WE KNOW
ONLY FOR THAT DREAM OF GOLD
