rate me

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>
