Eldorado

Up a seashell mountain

Across a primrose sea

To a jungle fountain

High up in a tree

Then down a primrose mountain

Across a seashell sea

To a land of happy people

Just and kind and bold and free

To Eldorado, to Eldorado

They bathe each dawn in a golden lake

Emeralds hang upon the vine

All is there for all to take

Food and God and books and wine

They have no word for fear and greed

For lies and war, revenge and rage

They sing and dance and think and read

They live in peace and die of age

In Eldorado, in Eldorado

They gave me home, they called me friend

They taught me how to live in grace

Seasons passed without an end

In that sweetly blessed place

But I grew sad and could not stay

Without my love my heart was cold

So they sadly sent me on my way

With gracious gifts of gems and gold

From Eldorado, from Eldorado

"Good-bye," they said, "We pray you

Sail safely cross the sea"

"Go," they said, "And may you

Find your bride to be"

Then past a jungle fountain

Along a silver shore

I've come by sea and mountain

Just to find my love once more

From Eldorado, from Eldorado, from Eldorado

Just to find my love once more
