Lyrics

Burning Gold

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Looking for an exit in this world of fear

I can see the path that leads the way

Mama never left, and daddy needs me here

I wish the wind would carry a change

Looking through the window to a world of dreams

I can see my future slip away

Honey, you won't get there if you don't believe

I wish the wind would carry a change

I've had enough

I'm standing up

I need, I need a change

I've had enough of chasing luck

I need, I need a change

I'm setting fire to the life that I know

We start a fire everywhere that we go

We starting fires, we starting fires

Till our lives are burning gold

Till our lives are burning gold

Looking for my ticket to a higher place

I can see my chance begin to fade

One step forward and two back again

I wish the wind would carry a change

I've had enough

I'm standing up

I need, I need a change

I've had enough of chasing luck

I need, I need a change

I'm setting fire to the life that I know

We start a fire everywhere that we go

We starting fires, we starting fires

Till our lives are burning gold

Till our lives are burning gold

Uh, uh, uh

Looking back, I see I had the flame in me

I'm the wind that's carrying a change

I've had enough of chasing luck

I need, I need a change

I'm setting fire to the life that I know

We start a fire everywhere that we go

We starting fires, we starting fires

Till our lives are burning gold

I'm setting fire to the life that I know

We start a fire everywhere that we go

We starting fires, we starting fires

Till our lives are burning gold

Till our lives are burning gold
