[Verse 1] Every road is paved in gold Every mile says, take your share But my shoes are sunk and cold Like the earth has caught me there You call from the far-off bend With a map folded in your hand I can see where all roads end Still I cannot make them stand [Pre-Chorus] You say, one step, then another I count the cracks beneath my feet The whole wide world is shining But I’m rooted in the street [Chorus] Gold road, stone feet Bright way, no beat You say run, I stay Gold road, stone feet Gold road, stone feet Every turn looks sweet You say go, I wait Gold road, stone feet [Verse 2] Coins are set in every stone Sunlit signs point everywhere I could choose a road alone If I could lift this weight of care You reach out, I touch your sleeve Your warm hand loosens something tight Maybe I can start to leave Maybe one small step tonight [Pre-Chorus] You say, one step, then another I count the cracks beneath my feet The whole wide world is shining And your hand is keeping time with me [Chorus] Gold road, stone feet Bright way, no beat You say run, I stay Gold road, stone feet Gold road, stone feet Every turn looks sweet You say go, I wait Gold road, stone feet [Bridge] Not all at once, not miles ahead Just lift the heel, then shift the tread You take one side, I take my time A little weight leaves yours and mine [Final Chorus] Gold road, stone feet Bright way, now beat You say run, I sway Gold road, stone feet Gold road, stone feet Hear the ground release You say go, I take One step, then breathe Gold road, stone feet [Outro] One step, then breathe Gold road beneath me
