[Verse]
Well, I sought gold and diamond rings
My own drug to ease the pain that living brings
I walked from the mountain to the valley floor
Searching for my beautiful reward
Searching for my beautiful reward

[Verse]
From a house on a hill, a sacred light shines
I walk through these rooms, none of them are mine
Down empty hallways, I went from door to door
Searching for my beautiful reward
Searching for my beautiful reward

[Verse]
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

[Verse]
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
