Hidden Treasure
Miranda Lee Richards Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The ones so golden, the ones beholdin'
The fondest memories of yesteryear
And I will follow you
You know I won't fear, I'm growing up my dear
And starting to hear my own direction
Finally, there's something I can hold onto that isn't broken
It's in my hand, the smallest grain of sand
Becomes a Hidden Treasure
So write me a letter
One I'll save forever inside these broken drawers
The ones that I find that make me smile
And don't file me away
With things forgotten, things old and rotten
'Cause I was the one you could really talk to
Here in the now
Finally, there's something I can hold onto that isn't broken
It's in my hand, the smallest grain of sand
Becomes a Hidden Treasure
Why are we severe
To the one's we hold dear and closest to our hearts?
Always biting the hands that feed us
When here in the now
Finally, there's something you can hold onto that isn't broken
In your hand, the smallest grain of sand
Becomes a Hidden Treasure

Walk through the hills
Take a walk through the hills
The ones so golden, the ones beholdin'
The hills that are so beautiful and rich with memories
The fondest memories of yesteryear
The most cherished memories of the past
And I will follow you
I will go with you on this walk through the hills
You know I won't fear, I'm growing up my dear
I am not afraid and I am becoming more independent
And starting to hear my own direction
I am finding my own way in life
Finally, there's something I can hold onto that isn't broken
I have found something valuable and whole
It's in my hand, the smallest grain of sand
Even something small can be valuable
Becomes a Hidden Treasure
What I have found is a precious treasure
So write me a letter
Please write to me
One I'll save forever inside these broken drawers
I will keep your letter safe in these old, worn drawers
The ones that I find that make me smile
These drawers are dear to me because they hold things that bring me happiness
And don't file me away
Don't treat me as something to be forgotten
With things forgotten, things old and rotten
Don't put me away with things that are old and no longer useful
'Cause I was the one you could really talk to
I was the one you trusted to listen and understand
Here in the now
In this moment
Why are we severe
Why are we so harsh
To the one's we hold dear and closest to our hearts?
To those who are most important to us?
Always biting the hands that feed us
We hurt those who care for us the most
Finally, there's something you can hold onto that isn't broken
You have found something valuable and whole
In your hand, the smallest grain of sand
Even something small can be valuable
Becomes a Hidden Treasure
What you have found is a precious treasure
