Silver And Gold

To begin a new life
you got to break up the old one
and get back in line
it could be that you're down
and gone for the moment
even when you're feeling just fine

something just showed me the truth in that life
and gave me a reason to live
it takes me back to when i nearly went blind
and keeps my heart straight moving on

life has diamonds and pearls
but for sure not in this world
life has silver and gold
you gotta catch it before you grow old

to collect memories
just like words on a bookshelf
and let them all grow
some of them sure got me tossing and turning
beside my bed the nightlight glows

something just showed me the faith in that night
and gave me a reason to live
it brings shimmering
into the darkness of my mind
and keeps my heart straight moving on

life has diamonds and pearls
but for sure not in this world
life has silver and gold
you gotta catch it before you grow old

something just showed me
that truth in that life
and gave me a reason to live
it takes me back to when i nearly went blind
and keeps my heart straight moving on

life has diamonds and pearls
but for sure not in this world
life has silver and gold
you gotta catch it before you grow old
