GOLD EYES
GOLD EYES
Eye’s protect me
Give me site
To walk a road
Blended with the mixtures of
Gold
And the silver of life
Is gold
Beyond my truth
It shines with
Status and riches
If I pay for happiness
It should have
No use
The brightness
The gleam
A closer look at gold
Is what I need
I looked closer at gold
As it lay
With the brightness of value
And the respect of its gleam
So to bond as gold
The status the value
And the gleam
Was I putting a limit
On all that I can be
So silver
Reflected it self to me
Without the values
Of pride without the status
Of Insecurity
Silver is less than gold
Less in status
But used more by all
Silver and gold
A value
A dream
All that shine
With value
Chose carefully
Eye’s protect me
Give me site
To walk a road
Blended with the mixtures of
Gold
And the silver of life
Is gold
Beyond my truth
It shines with
Status and riches
If I pay for happiness
It should have
No use
The brightness
The gleam
A closer look at gold
Is what I need
I looked closer at gold
As it lay
With the brightness of value
And the respect of its gleam
So to bond as gold
The status the value
And the gleam
Was I putting a limit
On all that I can be
So silver
Reflected it self to me
Without the values
Of pride without the status
Of Insecurity
Silver is less than gold
Less in status
But used more by all
Silver and gold
A value
A dream
All that shine
With value
Chose carefully
