Goldmine
Don’t be afraid a dyin’
My father used to say
It’s a comin’ round to everyone
Everyone someday
Don’t be scared o’ shadows
Where angels fear to tread
They’re only superstitions
Stuck inside your head
Now, I hear you askin’
What’s beyond the stars
Is there life on other worlds?
Like Jupiter and mars
We all begin to wonder
What hides behind the night
Is there somethin’ glowin’
Like an endless sea of light
You say
What’s it like on the other side
Is it golden?
Does it shine?
I say yeah
It cannot be denied
It’s like a goldmine
Shinin’ bright
It’s like goldmine
Holdin’ all the treasures ever known
Ain’t no dividin’ line
No distinction shown
It’s like a goldmine
Keepin’ secret all the stories ever told
And its blindin’
Just like the colour gold
Don’t you know the endin’
Is just another start
It seems the act is over
But you’ll play another part
Rise on to a higher place
Or, be born again
Have to do the same damn thing
Go through the same ol’ sufferin’
Now I hear you askin’
What makes the planets spin?
Who’s looking from the outside
To what’s revealed within
Who made the magic happen?
Seems a spell was cast
As we fly into the future
As life fades into the past
You say
What’s it like on the other side
Is it golden?
Does it shine?
I say yeah
It cannot be denied
It’s like a goldmine
Shinin’ bright
It’s like goldmine
Holdin’ all the treasures ever known
Ain’t no dividin’ line
No distinction shown
It’s a goldmine
Keepin’ secret all the stories ever told
And its blindin’
Just like the colour gold
Don’t be afraid a dyin’
My father used to say
It’s a comin’ round to everyone
Everyone someday
Now remember what I’m sayin’
That on the other side
Its just like a goldmine
Always shinin’ bright
Yeah, it’s a goldmine
And it will shine beyond the end of time
Yeah, a goldmine
More golden than all the gold you’ll ever find
It’s a goldmine
More golden than any gold coastline
A goldmine
And yeah – its shinin’ bright
You say
What’s it like on the other side
Is it golden?
Does it shine?
I say yeah
It cannot be denied
It’s like a goldmine
Shinin’ bright
