[ Featuring Salif Keita ]
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
