SITTING ON A TREASURE (VA) (acte II song 7)

SITTING ON A TREASURE (Act II – Song 7) [Intro:] [Verse 1:] I ran the world... I braved the gale, To find the gold... beyond the veil. I burned my days, I sold my nights, For hollow dreams... and city lights. But in the silence of this day, I look at my hands... in a brand new way. [Chorus 1:] I was sitting on a treasure chest, Unaware of how... I was blessed! Every second was a holy gift, But I let the golden moments drift... Life isn’t something we wait to see, It’s here... it’s now... it’s you and me! [Verse 2: ] They told me tomorrow... would be bright, If I kept on climbing... with all my might. But the sky is blue above this street, No need to run... to make it complete. True wealth is found in a simple breath, Far from the machines... and their cold death. [Chorus 2:] I was sitting on a treasure chest, Unaware of how... I was blessed! Every second was a holy gift, But I let the golden moments drift... Life isn’t something we wait to see, It’s here... it’s now... it’s you and me! [Verse 3: ] Look at the sun... upon your face, It’s the most beautiful... of every place. A friend’s laughter, the taste of the air... Are the only jewels... beyond compare! I broke my watch and my armor of stone, To listen to a nature... I’ve always known. [Chorus 3:] I was sitting on a treasure chest, Unaware of how I was blessed! Every second was a holy gift, But I let the golden moments drift... Life isn’t something we wait to see, It’s here... it’s now... it’s you and me! [Break: Musical ] [Verse 4:] Forgive me now... my loves, my own, For the seeds of time... I’ve never sown. I only cared for the profit and gain, While forgetting the joy... behind the rain. But today... I lay my weapons down, There’s gold in my tears... and a light in this town. [Chorus 4: ] I was sitting on a treasure chest, Unaware of how... I was blessed! Every second was a holy gift, But I let the golden moments drift... Life isn’t something we wait to see, It’s here... it’s now... it’s you and me! [Verse 5: ] I’m searching no more... I have arrived! In the heart of the world... finally revived! The Machine grumbles, but I hear it no more, I found everything... I was looking for... THE TREASURE IS HERE... BENEATH OUR FEET! [Chorus 5: ] I WAS SITTING ON A TREASURE CHEST! SEEING AT LAST... HOW I AM BLESSED! EVERY SECOND IS A HOLY GIFT! THE CLOUDS IN MY SOUL... FINALLY LIFT! LIFE ISN’T SOMETHING WE WAIT TO SEE! IT’S HERE... IT’S NOW... IT’S YOU AND ME! [Outro: Majestic Finale -] [End]
