Gold - Alexiane, Salif Keïta

I woke up not recognizing anything this morning

Except for this big old clock on my wall

My hair’s gotten whiter and my eyes are getting bluer

The sun’s getting in through my skin

Say I’m here every step you take

I am the wind on your skin

I’m the lines across your face

That tell your story to the world

When it burns be patient

Think of the ocean

Gold

Yeah, I’m gold now

And you don’t know if you think I’m old

Gold

No, I’m not old now

I’m in the golden age

Not my time to go yet

And I’m a gold child

At the edge of the world

And I want to be here with you

If you look into my soul

Just get past the broken bones

You’ll see the sun getting in through my skin

Say I’m here every step you take

I am the wind on your skin

I’m the lines across your face

That tell your story to the world

When it burns be patient

Think of the ocean

Gold

Yeah, I’m Gold now

And you don’t know if you think I’m old

Gold

No, I’m not old now

I’m in the golden age

Not my time to go yet

Gold

Yeah, I’m gold now

And you don’t know if you think I’m old

Gold

Even when it burns, oh

I’m in the golden age

Not my time to go yet
