More than gold

Title: “More Than Gold” Verse 1 I woke up high above the crowd, The lights, the fame, the roaring sound. The world is mine, but I feel alone, Chasing dreams that I used to own. A café corner, morning sun, Your hand in mine, the day’s begun. A simple smile, a quiet laugh, Moments that I’ve left in the past. Chorus (coral, inviting audience to sing) Success is shining, but it’s not enough, Reach for me, the world is tough. Sing with me, don’t let it go, Happiness is more than gold! Verse 2 Jumping in the pool, laughing loud, Feeling free in the silver clouds. The cameras flash, the crowds cheer, But where’s the love I held so near? I’ve climbed the heights, I’ve touched the sky, But all those things can’t make me fly. It’s in the little things I find my heart, The simple world that sets me apart. Chorus (coral) Success is shining, but it’s not enough, Reach for me, the world is tough. Sing with me, don’t let it go, Happiness is more than gold! Bridge (soft, reflective) I’ve got the fame, the flash, the stage, But I long for warmth, the simple page. A quiet walk, a laugh, a glance, These are the moments that make me dance. Final Chorus (soaring, full audience) Success is shining, but it’s not enough, Reach for me, the world is tough. Sing with me, don’t let it go, Happiness is more than gold! Outro (soft, piano or guitar, intimate) Take my hand, and walk with me, Through simple joys, we are free.
