Took a lump of coal
Out of the ground
Took a lump of coal
Took it into town
By the power of my will
I made it shine
Took a lump of coal
Made a diamond mine
Hey
Ooh, yeah
Took a woman in my arms
She kissed my mouth
Took a woman in my arms
She changed north to south
Now I believe
Now I understand
Went in a boy
Came out a man
Don't care what the wise men say
Don't care what you've been told
As far as the eye can see
The streets are paved with gold
Hey
The streets are paved with gold
I take my life
Into my hands
Turn lead to gold
Turn stone to sand
Take the mighty oak
Pull it up by the roots
Dreams to deeds
And deeds to truth
Don't care what the wise men say
Don't care what you've been told
As far as the eye can see
The streets are paved with gold
Hey
The streets are paved with gold
By an act of faith
I invent myself
By an act of hope
I invent myself
By the grace of God
I invent myself
By the power of love
I invent myself
Hey
Mine is the whisper
Mine is the scream
Mine is the story
Mine is the dream
Out of my chest
The rib was torn
The world began
When I was born
Don't care what the wise men say
Don't care what you've been told
As far as the eye can see
The streets are paved with gold
The streets are paved with gold
The streets are paved with gold
The streets are paved with gold
The streets are paved with
The streets are paved with gold
The streets are paved with
The streets are paved with gold
