lyrics

Golden City in the Sky

Hop on if you want to catch a ride
don’t just stand there trying to decide
you’ve a got a notion to take flight
i just keep climbing all the time
trying to reach the golden city in the sky

if you’re searching you just might find
you can catch a glimpse in the blink of an eye
if you’re not some idle passer by
as you keep climbing higher and higher
Trying to reach the golden city in the sky
in the sky, in the sky in the sky

sweet illusions sweep away
dissonant confusion in the light of day
all of creation gets organized
i follow the image in my mind
Trying to reach the golden city in the sky
in the sky, in the sky, in the sky

people come to see what they will find
Some seeking wisdom, some second sight
some to fulfill their heart’s desire
they're climbing up the mountain side
Trying to reach the golden city in the sky
in the sky, in the sky, in the sky
gonna climb way up high in the sky
