Gold Dust Rising (Version 2)

Intro

Dust on my ankles

Sun on the wall

Feet find the rhythm

Gold starts to rise

Verse

Courtyard floor, bare and warm

Grandmother's broom left by the door

Every step I take stirs the ground

Old breath rising without a sound

Pre-Chorus

Can you see it lifting

Off the concrete, off my skin

Light in the dust we're kicking

Ancestors breathing in

Chorus

Gold dust rising off the floor

Gold dust rising, want some more

Feet on fire, sky wide open

Gold dust rising off the floor

Verse

Washing line moves with the wind

Bassline low where the day begins

Sweat and sun on the courtyard stone

Nobody dances here alone

Chorus

Gold dust rising off the floor

Gold dust rising, want some more

Feet on fire, sky wide open

Gold dust rising off the floor

Bridge

This ground remembers

Every foot that came before

I'm just the dust now

Learning how to soar

Outro

Gold dust rising

Off the floor

Gold dust rising

Ever more
