Gold

Some people never recognize it
Though it´s right before their eyes
And shine in all it´s glory
They never ever see
They take something that looks just like it
And it may glitter for a time
But gold it will never be
I guess you never held on to quality
Or you woulda recognised by now
Something so special so true
When it´s standing right in front of you
- Chorus -
I´m gold babe
Catch in the slipstream
Passing by the fools who just don´t know
Pure gold babe
You´re looking at the real thing
If you knew my worth you wouldn´t let go oh no
Gold lies in rivers undiscovered
Hidden from the sight of those
Who don´t know what to look for
And they ain´t never gonna find it
Sometimes the value is uncovered
Other times it´s cast aside
By those who are just unsure
I guess you never held on to quality
Or you woulda recognised by now
Something so special so true
When she´s standing right in front of you
- Chorus -
All the things you failed to see
Separated you from
I decide who wins my time
And who comes inside yeah
Cause what is true and what is real
Finds a way of being revealed
I don´t have to even try
Cause I´m certified pure
- Chorus -
Though it´s right before their eyes

Something so special so true
When it´s standing right in front of you

Passing by the fools who just don´t know
