The winning days are gone
Because I know just where I'm seeing
Was giving as I know
I can't hear

'Cause underneath there's gold
I'll need to get around to find it
When I want to go
I can dream 
I've been trying
All the time

I'm just seeing it right
'Cause it could be the lights that's over me
So I just want to let it be

The winning days are gone
Because I know just where I'm seeing
Was giving as I know
I can't hear

'Cause underneath there's gold 
I'll need to get around to find it
When I want to go
I can dream
I've been trying
All my time

I'm just seeing it right
'Cause it could be the light that's over me
So I just want to let it be

Get up and go outside
It can help your mind too
Get up don't hide away

'Cause I know where there's gold
I didn't know when I was flying 
I'm sinking like a stone
I can dream 
I've been trying
