Jeangu Macrooy - Gold

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
