The Gold And Beyond
Words by John Denver
Music by John Denver & Lee Holdridge

D
On a snow crystal morning some place close to heaven
G
On the side of a mountain in a race for the sun
A D
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
G
The spirit is burning consumed by the flame
A D
To be one of the best of the best in the world Is its name
G D
To go faster and farther
G A D
Than anyone's ever before

To be braver and stronger
G A D F
And truer and then even more
Bb F
To be all that you can be
Bb C F F# D G A D
And all that you've ever longed fo---------r
In the eyes of the mountain all people are equal

In the eyes of all people our souls can be seen
A D
In the course of our struggle we'll know what humanity means
G D G A D G D G A D F
Bb F
To be all that you can be
Bb C F F# D
And all that you've ever longed fo--------r
We gather together to face one another
G
We gather in silence and sing for the sun
A D
We gather in peace - to Go for the Gold and Beyo---nd
