Linda Eder - Gold {From Camille Claudel} lyrics

rate me

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?

Or when the battles grew to 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 heart's been driven by extremes

Blind with dreams, tight with fear

But still, God knows I was here

And oh, I was 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 skies

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

And though my voice was just a whisper

Someone must have heard!

There were nights the moon above me stirred

And let my life take hold

I rode across that sky

And once I touched the gold!
