Gold Road, Stone Feet

[Verse 1]
Every road is paved in gold
Every mile says, take your share
But my shoes are sunk and cold
Like the earth has caught me there
You call from the far-off bend
With a map folded in your hand
I can see where all roads end
Still I cannot make them stand

[Pre-Chorus]
You say, one step, then another
I count the cracks beneath my feet
The whole wide world is shining
But I’m rooted in the street

[Chorus]
Gold road, stone feet
Bright way, no beat
You say run, I stay
Gold road, stone feet
Gold road, stone feet
Every turn looks sweet
You say go, I wait
Gold road, stone feet

[Verse 2]
Coins are set in every stone
Sunlit signs point everywhere
I could choose a road alone
If I could lift this weight of care
You reach out, I touch your sleeve
Your warm hand loosens something tight
Maybe I can start to leave
Maybe one small step tonight

[Pre-Chorus]
You say, one step, then another
I count the cracks beneath my feet
The whole wide world is shining
And your hand is keeping time with me

[Chorus]
Gold road, stone feet
Bright way, no beat
You say run, I stay
Gold road, stone feet
Gold road, stone feet
Every turn looks sweet
You say go, I wait
Gold road, stone feet

[Bridge]
Not all at once, not miles ahead
Just lift the heel, then shift the tread
You take one side, I take my time
A little weight leaves yours and mine

[Final Chorus]
Gold road, stone feet
Bright way, now beat
You say run, I sway
Gold road, stone feet
Gold road, stone feet
Hear the ground release
You say go, I take
One step, then breathe
Gold road, stone feet

[Outro]
One step, then breathe
Gold road beneath me
