More Than Gold

Mama used to say when I was twelve years old
"It's nice to be a child, don't rush to grow old
With time, you'll realize that nothing worth comes easy"
And daddy used to say when I was fifteen years old
"You've got the courage in your pocket and the strength in your soul
Just go be yourself 'cause it will never leave ya"

Now that I've grown old
I'm still a child in a different home
I'm still learning to let go
With all my fears and all my flaws

I'm singing now, oh, oh, oh, life is unknown
And when you think you have something to lose, that's a new dawn
And oh, oh, oh, I'm not alone
You might think this is nothing, but nothing means more than gold

Mama used to bring me with her everywhere
I'm lucky I had someone that knew how to care
With time, you realize that real things don't come easy
And daddy used to warn me 'bout the wolves out there
He said, "Ooh, baby girl, good hearts are rare
Hold on to them, 'cause they will never leave ya"

But now that I've grown old
I'm still a child in a different home
I'm still learning to let go
With all my fears and all my flaws

I'm singing now, oh, oh, oh, life is unknown
And when you think you have something to lose, that's a new dawn
And oh, oh, oh, I'm not alone
You might think this is nothing, but nothing means more than gold

(Oh, I'm singing now, ooh)

Oh, oh, oh, I'm far from home
I have my dreams to follow, but I promise that I'm not gone
And oh, oh, oh, you're in my bones
I never thought I had nothing 'cause you are more than gold
