Gold Lyrics - Linda Eder

I wonder if when all is done 

Anyone heard my voice 

But from the start we have no choice 

Our journeys just begin 

I'll never know if I was right 

Did I fight hard enough? 

When the battles grew too rough 

Should I have given in? 

But here I stand and swear to you 

I did the best that I could do... 

I know my voice was just a whisper 

But someone may have heard 

There were nights the moon above me stirred, 

And let me grab a hold 

My hands have touched the gold 

My hearts been driven by extremes 

Blind with dreams, tight with fear 

But still God knows that I was hear 

And I was so alive 

And now I lay the past to rest 

For in the end I did my best 

You have to live the life you're given 

And never close your eyes 

You hold on, and stare into the sky, 

And burn against the cold 

For any moment, you might find the gold! 

And there was joy 

Through it all 

And I am standing tall 

I know my voice was just a whisper 

But someone must have heard 

There were nights the moon above me stirred, 

And let my light take hold 

I'd rode across that sky 

And once I touched the gold 

Here in my own two hands 

I once had the gold
