Linda Eder - Gold Lyrics
Lyrics: Nan KnightonI wonder if when all is done,Anyone heard my voice...But from the start, we have no choiceOur journeys just beginI'll never know if I was rightDid I fight hard enough?Or when the battles grew too rough,Should I have given in?But here I stand and swear to you:I did the best that I could doI know my voice was just a whisperBut someone may have heardThere were nights the moon above me stirredAnd let me grab aholdMy hands... have touched... the gold...My heart's been driven by extremes,Blind with dreams, tight with fearBut still, God knows that I was here,And oh I was alive! And now i lay the past to rest,For in the end, I did my bestYou have to live the life you're givenAnd never close your eyes!You hold on and stare into the skiesAnd burn against the coldFor any moment you might find the gold!And there was joy through it all,And I am standing tallAnd though my voice was just a whisper,Someone must have heard!There were nights the moon above me stirredAnd let my life take hold!I rode across that sky!And once I touched the goldHere in my own two hands...I once held the gold
