|
In the night of desperation, |
|
in the day of lost desire, |
|
in the tears of supplication |
|
in the year of flood and fire. |
|
Golden dreams may die away, |
|
golden dreams they fly away, |
|
and every heart the Lord redeems, |
|
will find again their golden dreams |
|
In the winter of our yearning, |
|
in the season of our falling, |
|
in the shadow of our turning, |
|
in the shame of our lost calling |
|
Beyond the veil of our despairing, |
|
beyond the clouds of our temptations, |
|
beyond the crosses that we're bearing, |
|
beyond the stars and constellations |
|
Golden dreams have flown away, |
|
golden dreams we'll see one day. |
|
Then we'll know what heaven means: |
|
God paved its streets with our golden dreams. |
