The Gold And Beyond Lyrics - John Denver

This song was first released on the Greatest Hits Vol 3 album. It is the only album this song appears on. 

On a snow crystal morning 

Some place close to heaven 

On the side of a mountain 

In a race for the sun 

In a matter of moments 

The dream of a lifetime is won 

There's a fire in the heart 

And it feels like the hunger 

The spirit is burning 

Consumed by the flame 

To be one of the best 

Of the best in the world 

Is its name

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

To be faster and farther 

Than anyone's ever before 

To be braver and stronger 

And truer and then even more 

To be all that you can be 

And all that you've ever longed for 

In the eyes of a mountain 

All people are equal 

In the eyes of all people 

Our souls can be seen 

In the course of our struggle 

We'll know what humanity means 

To be all that you can be 

And all that you've ever longed for 

Photos 

We gather together 

To face one another 

We gather in silence 

And sing in the sun 

We gather in peace 

To go for the gold and beyond
