"Gold" lyrics

Gold, gold
Everywhere I go I see gold
Gold, gold
Everywhere I go I see gold

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...

Gold, gold, everywhere I go I see...
(Gold, gold, everywhere I go I see...)
Gold, gold, everywhere I go I see gold (gold)

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...

Gold, gold, everywhere I go I see...
(Gold, gold, everywhere I go I see...)
Gold, gold, everywhere I go I see gold (gold)

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

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
