Gold from THE DIAMONDS by A Diamond Among Men

[Verse]
Momma once said all that glitters ain't gold
The shine fades quick when the truth unfolds
She said don’t chase the light it’ll burn your hand
It’s the shadows that’ll teach you where to stand

[Chorus]
All that glitters ain't gold she said
It's a diamond in the dirt not the crown on your head
If you’re digging for treasure in a fool’s parade
You’ll find the cost of the shine is the price you paid

[Verse 2]
Daddy used to say keep your boots in the mud
The rain’s gonna come it’ll turn to flood
But the seed won’t grow without a stormy sky
Don’t trust the rainbow if it’s built on a lie

[Chorus]
All that glitters ain't gold she said
It's a diamond in the dirt not the crown on your head
If you’re digging for treasure in a fool’s parade
You’ll find the cost of the shine is the price you paid

[Bridge]
Silver tongues speak in golden tones
But the weight of truth breaks the prettiest stones
A hollow heart shines but it won’t hold love
It’s the cracks in the clay that let the light above

[Chorus]
All that glitters ain't gold she said
It's a diamond in the dirt not the crown on your head
If you’re digging for treasure in a fool’s parade
You’ll find the cost of the shine is the price you paid
