Yitzchok Friedman - The Golden Gardens [Official Music Video]

The official music video for the new single "The Golden Gardens". Johnny lived a simple everyday But nighttime made him wanna run away The golden gardens weren't very far But cash was hard to play People knew about the hills somewhere But no one took a chance and no one dared To ride the train and climb the rocky hills But jounny wasnt sacred And the few that made it there Lead lives of endless joy and happy tears And they all said it was worth it Even if it took years At night he'd close his eyes And he'd promise that he'd make it on a train In his dreams he's flying high Still his friends and family thought he was insane What about the ride Might get stuck inside Never to come out again and see that he survived But maybe it's a bargain To make it to the garden Where all your worries fade and all your dreams can come alive Every day he'd work for dimes and pennies And once he found a buck in his dad's old Chevy And when hed close his drawer beside his bed at night The coins would ring and tell him he'd be fine Then one day he felt his luck had hit it 150 coins could buy a ticket And in the morning when the sun began to rise Tears slipped from his eyes And when the town was still asleep Johnny ran through the misty empty streets And a thrill rushed his head As Johnny took a seat Colored trees flew by And he realizes he'll be on the train a while But Johnny boy felt fine As an old wise man looked up and shared a smile But what about the ride Might get stuck inside Never to come out again and see that he survived But maybe it's a bargain To make it to the garden Where all your worries fade and all your dreams can come alive Johnny awoke to bright lights in his eyes The golden gardens mirrored in the skies And when he saw the people dancing in the wind He knew had arrived Years of sweat and tears that he had cried Looked Johnny in the soul with beaming pride And as stepped out of the train into his dreams He waived those tears goodbye At night he close his eyes And he thinks back to those ordinary times So happy that he tried Now dreamy nights need not stay in his mind Now he knows for sure It was worth for the reward For all the times he feels like he's in heaven on a high And boy was it a bargain To make it to the garden And now he lives among the only few truly alive Then one day ol Johnny came to town And suddenly he's the coolest guy around People's eyes go wide to hear the life he has Cuz Johnny took a chance
