Gold is a cautionary story of a family torn apart by the distractions of material things and misplaced values. How the demand for things we think make us happy can ultimately lead to drifting apart. Is it people we value or material things? What is your gold?

lyrics

Lost beneath the surface
Sinking in quicksand
Lies the heartbeat of a man
He left his wife and children
To search for gold
And he lost his soul
He lost his soul

She sent out a letter
To the man who left her
But nothing was returned
She sits and waits
Tears turn to rust
The children are long gone
She’s waiting for gold

They’re waiting but he’s not coming home
Why’d he have to give up his soul
For all he owns
He gave up his soul
Searching for gold
He lost his soul

They’re waiting for gold
