Road Of Gold
David Ault · Other Songs - David Ault
Let the past be the Past, Let this moment be true
When divinity is Yours, then Forgiveness is the Healer
That mends a broken heart and restores a broken dream
May Your heart be as light as the mist upon the water
May Your Eyes be as bright as a Beacon in the dark
May Your Words be as Strong, as the Love that lies within them
May your life be like a game, that you play before you go.
THERE ARE SECRETS TO TELL, THERE ARE SECRETS TO TREASURE
THERE ARE BURDENS TO LAY DOWN AND TO CARRY NO MORE
There are Messengers who come, Who will guide You on Your Journey
If Only You Will Listen, Oh, If Only You will Hear
The Old Man is Standing and he's waiting or Your answer
Can You Find the Courage Now, Or will You be the slave of Time
The caged bird it sings, of the blue sky and the sunshine
And Never Realizes that the Door is Open Wide.
So BELIEVE IN YOUR GOODNESS
And Shine Thru Your Darkness
And Face all Your fears with a Smile and a Wave
All the Tears that You have cried Are Now Turning into diamonds
And Every Road You tread, is a road that's paved with gold
