Things fall apart
Especially all the neat order of rules and laws
The way we look at the world is the way we really are
See it from a fair garden, everything looks cheerful
Climb to a higher plateau and you'll see plunder and murder
Truth and beauty are in the eye of the beholder
I stopped trying to figure everything out a long time ago
ย
There is a city of gold
Far from the rat race that eats at your soul
Far from the madness and the bars that hold
There is a city of gold
There is a city of light
Raised up in Heaven and the streets are bright
Glory to God, not by deeds or by might
There is a city of light
ย
There is a city of love
Surrounded by stars and the power above
Far from this world and the stuff dreams are made of
There is a city, city of love
There is a city of grace
You drink holy water in a sanctified space
No one's afraid to show their face
There is a city of grace
ย
There is a city of peace
Where all foul form of destruction will cease
Where the mighty have fallen and there are no police
There is a city, a city of peace
There is a city of hope
Across the ravine by the green sunlit slope
And all I need is an axe and a rope
To get to the city, oh, of hope
ย
I'm headed for the city (I'm headed for the city of gold)
Of gold (Before it's too late)
Before it's too late (Before it gets too cold)
Before it gets too cold (Before I'm too tired)
Oh, before I'm too tired (Before I'm too old)
Before I get too old (I'm headed for the city)
Yeah (Of gold)
There is a city (Of gold)
There is a city (Of gold)
No madness in that city (Of gold)
No bars in the city (Of gold)
(In the city of gold)
Streets are bright in the city (Of gold)
And God is in the city (Of gold)
I'm going to the city (Of gold)
(In the city of gold)
You'll see stars in the city (Of gold)
Dreams come true in the city (Of gold)
I'm headed for the city (Of gold)
(In the city of gold)
There'll be peace in the city (Of gold)
No police in the city (Of gold)
In the city (Of gold)
I'm headed for the city of gold
