Well I sought gold and diamond rings My own ** to ease the pain that living brings Walked from the mountain to the valley floor Searching for my beautiful reward Searching for my beautiful reward
From a house on a hill a sacred light shines I walk through these rooms but none of them are mine Down empty hallways I went from door to door Searching for my beautiful reward Searching for my beautiful reward
Well your hair shone in the sun I was so high I was the lucky one Then I came crashing down like a drunk on a barroom floor Searching for my beautiful reward Searching for my beautiful reward
Tonight I can feel the cold wind at my back I'm flyin' high over gray fields my feathers long and black Down along the river's silent edge I soar Searching for my beautiful reward Searching for my beautiful reward
