Dust Into Gold (Version 2)

Intro

Mine dust on the wind

Settling on tin

Sunrise turns the sand

Gold beneath my skin

Verse

Tin roof holding heat

Copper light on the street

Grandfather's boots in the ground

Still keeping the beat

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel it rising

Through the sole of my feet

Every grain remembers

The hands that made it gold

Chorus

Dust into gold, we move like the sun

Dust into gold, we rise where we're from

Dust into gold, the ground and the drum

Dust into gold, we move as one

Verse

Pickaxe rhythm in my hips

Headlamp glow on my lips

Tailings hill turning bright

Body remembers the light

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel it rising

Through the sole of my feet

Every grain remembers

The hands that made it gold

Chorus

Dust into gold, we move like the sun

Dust into gold, we rise where we're from

Dust into gold, the ground and the drum

Dust into gold, we move as one

Bridge

I am the dust the mountain forgot

I am the shovel, the sweat, the shot

Every step turns the low ground bright

Dust into gold in the morning light

Outro

Dust into gold

Dust into gold

Rising with the sun

Dust into gold
