Gold (Demo Version) Lyrics
Wake Owl
Lyrics
So, didn't you find love or salvation in what they do,
a heart is built of gold, the heavens they are too, it's in the hand you hold,
how long can we ignore, we give a little more, and then we break our truth
'oooooo' (for four bars)
I don't feel like I'm falling, I'm up against the sky,
I said I'd taken it all in to make the good life,
I don't feel like I'm falling, I'm up against the sky,
let's grab the heart of the world and turn into the light
Oh I cannot turn around, the angels hear me now, go where i'm bound,
you smile like you know the new world has been found
'oooooo' (for four bars)
I don't feel like I'm falling, I'm up against the sky,
I said I'd taken it all in to make the good life,
I don't feel like I'm falling, I'm up against the sky,
let's grab the heart of the world and turn into the light
I don't feel like I'm falling, I'm up against the sky,
let's grab the heart of the world and turn into the light
