Golden Dreams

In the night of desperation

In the day of lost desire

In the tears of supplication

In the year of flood and fire.

Golden dreams may die away

Golden dreams they fly away

And every heart the Lord redeems

Will find again their golden dreams.

In the winter of our yearning

In the season of our falling

In the shadow of our turning

In the shame of our lost calling.

Beyond the veil of our despairing

Beyond the clouds of our temptations

Beyond the crosses that we're bearing

Beyond the stars and constellations.

Golden dreams have flown away

Golden dreams we'll see one day

Then we'll know what heaven means:

God paved its streets with our golden dreams.
