"Every now and then life says
Where do you think you're going so fast
We're apt to think it cruel but sometimes
It's a case of cruel to be kind

If we'd only open our eyes
We'd see the blessings in disguise
That all the rain clouds are fountains
Though our troubles seem like mountains

There's gold in them hills
So don't lose heart
Give the day a chance to start

A word or two, my friend
There's no telling how the day might end
And we'll never know until we see

There's gold in them hills"

– From Gold in Them Hills by Ron Sexsmith and Chris Martin
