Song by Dixie Hummingbirds<br /><br>
There is a city of gold<br>
Far from the rat-race that eats at your soul<br>
Far from the madness and the bars that hold<br>
There is a city of gold.<br>
There is a city of light<br>
Raised up in heaven, and the streets are bright<br>
Glory to God, not by deeds or by might<br>
There is a city of light.<br>
<br>
There is a city of love <br>
Surrounded by stars and the power above<br>
Far from this world and the stuff dreams are made of<br>
There is a city, city of love. <br>
There is a city of grace<br>
You drink holy water in a sanctified's place <br>
one's afraid to show their face<br>
There is a city, a city of grace<br>
<br>
[interlude]<br>
There is a city of peace<br>
Where all [foul form of] destruction will cease<br>
When the mighty have fallen and there's no police<br>
There is a city, a city of peace<br>
There is a city of hope <br>
Across the ravines by the green sunlit slope<br>
All I need is an axe and a rope <br>
To get to the city of hope.<br>
<br>
[interlude]<br>
I'm headed for the city of gold<br>
Before it's too late, before it gets too cold<br>
Before I'm too tired, before I'm too old<br>
I'm headed for the city of gold<br>
There is a city of gold<br>
 <br>
