City Of Gold Lyrics

"City Of Gold"By Tom RappI have crawled across the burning sandsTo the city of goldWhen I scratched upon theg atesOh, Lord I felt so oldMy talking, it was only wordsMy smile was only teethI had so many friends there,I knew I was aloneOh, Lord I felt like a thiefI saw a man all wrapped in chainsWracked with pain all throughI said, "I saw your face once in a pane of glass."And he said, "I saw you."Then he handed me a bookI asked him what it wasBut just then all the townspeople gathered aroundTo look at all the bloodThe people, they all jeered at himAnd circled him all 'roundAnd an old man pulled a gun from his pantsAnd laughed and shot him downThey called for gas, they pulled out knivesWhat they did, I will not sayThen the old man turned to me, said,"We don't like your kind."And I knew that I was saved
