Jeangu Macrooy - Gold lyrics

[Chorus 1] Gold, gold Everywhere I go I see gold Gold, gold Everywhere I go I see gold [Verse 1] I was a child of ignorance But I know what I know now I opened my eyes to what I've seen before To what I knew before Cause it was written in the black clay soil With the blood of our sisters and brothers, and mothers and fathers Unholy sacrifices for coffee and sugar and... [Chorus 1] Gold, gold, everywhere I go I see... (Gold, gold, everywhere I go I see...) Gold, gold, everywhere I go I see gold (gold) [Verse 2] Look at these children of ignorance They don't know (know), wasn't told (told) Blinded by facts in a sugarcoat Cause the past was rewritten Telling stories of heros and glory in a new world Singing songs about the age of coffee, sugar and... [Chorus 1] Gold, gold, everywhere I go I see... (Gold, gold, everywhere I go I see...) Gold, gold, everywhere I go I see gold (gold) [Bridge] We hold our dreams in our minds The future is in our hands But it will take some time To reach the promised land We hold our dreams in our minds The future is in our hands But it will take some time To reach the promised land [Chorus 2] Gold, gold, everywhere we go we see gold (hmm) Gold, gold, everywhere we go we see gold (hmm) But we are no children of ignorance (ignorance) We were told (told), what we know (know) Led by the light of what is to come We will write our own future in gold
