FOR ALL THE GOLD
LYRICS By DAVE GUNNING & JAMIE ROBINSON.

It’s still up there in the hills where the scars haven’t healed
With the cold winds blowing up from down below
As the sunlight on St. Mary’s makes a ribbon through the trees
And it reaches to the end of the rainbow
Is there anything we’ve learned from all we’ve lost
Is it buried in the dirt from digging deep
Five years worth of paycheques will never cover up the costs
Of forever gone and nothing left to keep
For all the gold, for all the gold
This lifeblood running water can’t be bought or sold
For all the gold, for all the gold
We will never give it up
For all the gold
They tell us not to worry it’s not our grandfather’s mine
It’s the only bit of truth we’ve heard them say
Cause they can dig 27 tonnes just get an ounce this time
Nothing like it was in my grandfather’s day
For all the gold, for all the gold
This lifeblood running water can’t be bought or sold
For all the gold, for all the gold
We will never give it up
For all the gold
Can we live with the decision to let this disappear
As truck and shovel push it all aside
While we watch the forest sink exactly how we fear
As the poison trickles down the mountain side
For all the gold, for all the gold
This lifeblood running water can’t be bought or sold
For all the gold, for all the gold
We will never give it up
For all the gold, for all the gold
This lifeblood running water can’t be bought or sold
For all the gold, for all the gold
We will never give it up
For all the gold
