[Intro] Ooh yeah... listen... [Verse 1] They look and see just murky water, tangled vines, and black Say ain't nothin but a wasteland, best to turn your back But I see cathedrals in the cypress, where the wild things pray Chandeliers made of fireflies, dancing at the end of day [Verse 2] Buried deep where nature claimed it, underneath the moss Treasures from the ones before us, never truly lost Arrowheads and golden memories, in the mud they sleep History written in the water, secrets that the swamp will keep [Chorus] Swamps of Gold! Swamps of gold! You gotta look with different eyes Swamps of Gold! Swamps of gold! Life is thriving where the darkness lies Sun rays peek through, beauty through the trees Everything working out, just like it's supposed to be Swamps of Gold! [Verse 3] Even in the densest forest, battle for survival's real Gator and the lily, both just trying to feel the sun they steal But look closer, life is everywhere, dragonfly to heron wing Man not separate from nature, hear the beauty that the cypress sing [Bridge] Life is everywhere, can't you see Through the trees, I hear the beauty calling me Sun rays peek through, dancing on the black water Man and nature, together again, together again [Final Chorus - Big Choir] Swamps of Gold! Where the murky waters hold! Everything that glitters ain't gone! It's just waiting in the swamps of gold! Swamps of gold, swamps of gold Man and nature, one story told Swamps of gold! [Outro] Shhh... listen... it's all gold...
