My Beautiful Reward

[Verse 1]
Well, I sought gold and diamond rings
My own drug 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

[Verse 2]
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

[Verse 3]
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 4]
Tonight I can feel the cold wind at my back
I'm flying 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

[Outro]
Searching for my beautiful reward
Searching for my beautiful reward
