Golden Dreams

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.
