J. D. Hicks - Gold

Settled in
With the sound of the wind
And the lonely song it sings
Resides a parable I know
Pull it tight
Overhead in the night
When the walls are closing in
Never knew how far I’d go
Felt it best
Was laid to rest
But now this weight’s upon my chest
Moved along
What was here now is gone
Wasn’t time to say goodbye
Still the memories they burn
Paid a debt
That I’ll never forget
No matter how I try
Another lesson left unlearned
A subtle glow
From down below
Lights the way to where I’d go
All the gold I took for granted
Melted down and sold for free
Squandered it as if I’d planned it
Callously
Now I’m free
Steel myself for one more ride
Convinced of truths I know are lies
No place to lay but on the line
Here comes the wind to sing its fateful lullaby
All the gold I took for granted
Melted down and sold for free
Squandered it as if I’d planned it
Callously
All the gold I took for granted
Melted down and sold for free
Squandered it as if I’d planned it
Now I’m free
