Searching Gold

We left our goods behind overnight
They told us there was a place to find
We were all wrapped up in winter coats
Searching gold in the midnight cold

We traveled arm in arm, at the same pace
Keeping each other warm in the rising storm

Searching gold
Where's the gold
That we'll share
As we share the road?

Tree trunks had fallen down on our way
Rocks of the ice age that would not stir
We lifted all that troubled our haste
One spell, one voice for one single aim

Searching gold, will we find it?
Where's the gold
That we'll share
As we share the road?

One step left, I'm bound to lead the herd
They're only trailing behind, what can I say
They're only trailing behind, what can I say

As the horizon cleared we let go of our hands
Each one hurried to be the first where gold flows out
Oh, silent rejoicing when one of us stumbled
Oh, silent rejoicing when one of us failed
