lyrics

My father told me of a distant land
Where the people work the soil
There's no depression or oppression there,
And they're free from lives of toil
They heal their sick, and they shield their weak
And they make the broken whole
I'm gonna ride along the river's edge
'Til I reach the land of gold

Nobody knows of any sign or map to guide the way
You've gotta drive along the riverside and run on faith

The land of gold don't murder anyone
There's no cops to serve the will
No landlord's gonna steal your money there
And the wealthy foot the bill
The people never have to sweat in vain
And they live to save the world
I'm gonna ride along the river's edge
'Til I reach the land of gold

Nobody knows of any sign or map to guide the way
You've gotta drive along the riverside and run on faith
That some day

We'll find the land of gold once we release our hold
On violence and control and reach for dreams untold
Once capital unfurls, we'll build a better world
But how long can we wait?

I've always known the sense to cut and run
When the fear weighs down my soul
But there's no exit plan for you or me
While we're forced to fight alone
Once we strike out, oh, there's no goin' back
Or we'll die out in the cold
I hope I'll find you on the river's edge
And we'll reach the land of gold
