Glitter Ain't Gold
Clark Jr. Gary Lyrics

They told me that I needed some patience
Others advised to have patience.

But don't keep me waiting too long
However, they are getting impatient.

They told me that I needed salvation
People advised to seek redemption.

But who are we to lean on, cause
But who to rely on when things go wrong?

Something's going on here
Things are happening.

Something's going wrong
But not all of them are going well.

Running out of time here
Time is running out.

But I'm still waiting for something
Yet still hoping for something to happen.

It doesn't matter how high
The height is not important.

As long as you're with me when we fall
Just be there to support when things go bad.

We're a step away from breaking down
Crucial point just before losing control.

I need something good
They need something positive to happen.

The light is at the end of the tunnel
A positive outcome is close.

Or is it just a runaway train
But there could be a negative twist.

My daddy told me, "Glitter ain't gold, young boy
The advice of the father is "things that look attractive may not be as good as they appear".

So save yourself a whole lot of pain"
Thus, be careful in choosing what is really valuable.

Hey, hey, don't get me jumpin' for nothin'
Don't excite me if there is no clear reason.

I don't wanna wait, I don't wanna wait
Impatience is increasing.

I don't wanna wait much longer
They don't want to wait any further.

We're a step away from breaking down
Critical point is reached once again.

I need something good
They need a positive outcome soon.

Hey, hey, don't get me jumpin' for nothin'
Repeating the need for clear cause.

I don't wanna wait, I don't wanna wait
Persistently insisting on not wanting to wait further.

I don't wanna wait much longer
And giving a deadline.

Hey, hey, don't get me jumpin' for nothin'
Still looking for clear reason.

I don't wanna wait, I don't wanna wait
Again emphasizing on impatience.

I don't wanna wait much longer
Once again setting a deadline.
