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

Daddy used to say when I was 15 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

And now that I have 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

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"

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

And 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 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
