Original song by Gabrielle Macafee
Solo - Gabrielle Macafee
Vocal Percussion - David Norville
Arrangement - Tom Anderson

They see the world in black and white,
They see no sound and they taste no light
They'll try to trade your mind for tall tales and wild lies
Battle scarred but you're not broken
You're full of words, but you're unspoken
It's harder now to be yourself
In this pretty plastic world of painted faces on a shelf

Just promise me you'll stay gold for all your life
Just promised me you'll stay gold.

Take a break from this masquerade
Where the songs that you dance to are empty and stolen
From a stranger's mouth dripping with the lie
That the room isn't spinning, your hear's just in knots

Take a breath so you can start
Hear the beat in the hollow of you heart
Feel it, the thrill of the chase
Impossible worlds have been written on your face

Just promise me you'll stay gold for all your life
Just promised me you'll stay gold.

Take a break from this masquerade
Where the songs that you dance to are empty and stolen
From a stranger's mouth dripping with the lie
That the room isn't spinning, your hear's just in knots

Solders raise your arms, whatcha fighting' for
Drummers make a beat we can dance to
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Writers grit your teeth, fight with paper sword
Artists paint a world we can live in
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh

Take a break from this masquerade
Where the songs that you dance to are empty and stolen
From a stranger's mouth dripping with the lie
That the room isn't spinning, your hear's just in knots

Stay Gold and take up your heart
Sing it out
