GOLD
McMorrow James Vincent Lyrics

How was the cold
As I began my journey, I encountered harsh conditions and difficulties.

Along the path I determined to hold
Despite the challenges, I made the choice to continue on my chosen path.

Although it coiled round a perilous wing
Even though danger was always present and hovered over me.

Blinded by hot gas and carving off steam
My vision was obscured by intense heat and my surroundings seemed hazy.

There was still smoke
Despite the confusion and chaos, there was still evidence of what had happened.

Burnt in the grass
The landscape around me showed signs of destruction and devastation.

Reclaim a portion of desolate south
I sought to restore and bring new life to an area that had been abandoned and neglected.

Add in the stirrings and long lost fatigue
I infused my efforts with passion and the energy that comes from being exhausted after a long struggle.

Barrels that hide us in hair fallen heed
I found refuge and shelter in the natural world around me, which covered me like a protective coating.

Then became sound
Gradually, my surroundings became more alive, with a symphony of restored life and movement.

I wasn't afforded a love
I missed out on experiencing true love and all of its joys and complexities.

Covered up in hard earned clay
The challenges and hardships of life had left me feeling heavy and weighed down.

I wasn't accorded a stop
I was constantly on the move and felt like I never had a break or a chance to rest.

Always in it so much more
I was deeply invested in my journey and committed to overcoming obstacles and achieving success.

Time wasn't the only cavernous
There were deeper and more profound issues at play that couldn't be solved simply by the passage of time.

I hope my contour charts show up via rivers
I am optimistic that my plans and strategies will be successful and will bring new life and hope to the people around me.

Out to the only ocean
My efforts are intended to have a ripple effect and spread out to encompass a larger area.

There's something peaceful that goes out via river
There is a sense of serenity that comes from my efforts to restore and revitalize the land and its communities.

Out to the ocean
This peace and serenity will spread out even further, reaching new audiences and communities.

I was peaceful standing, I was open
Through all of the challenges and hardships of my journey, I maintained an attitude of calm and openness, with a willingness to embrace whatever came my way.

Time wasn't the only coward
Not only was time unable to solve all of the problems I faced, but there were other forces and obstacles that lacked courage and decisiveness.
