Jeangu Macrooy Gold song 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 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 a fox 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 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)
(gold, gold, everywhere we go we see gold)
(But we are no children of 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)
