Gold Dust Rising lyrics
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
