Verse 1
Sweat on my collarbone, iron in the dark
Every rep's a promise I make to start
Dust in the corners where shadows play
I'm finding myself one bar at a time
No mirror needed when I feel this way
Hips and legs remember what they've been through
Pre-Chorus
How long can I hold this? How far will it go?
Let the weight be my own tempo
Watch me lift the sound that I couldn't say
Watch it rise before I fade
Chorus
This is gold, not heavy at all
I'm holding the rhythm and standing tall
Every rep's a memory made to last
I'm turning pressure into pure past
Gold that burns like the fire in my chest
No chains holding me back from being best
Sweat on my collarbone where shadows play
Weight of gold is what I've been waiting for
Verse 2
Kettlebell swinging slow like a swing at sunset
Cinder dust rising with every hit
I'm not counting the minutes, I'm counting my strength
Iron's telling me stories it kept locked tight
Ribs are burning where the iron bites
But every time I lift it higher tonight
It tells me the story of who survived this fight
Pre-Chorus
How long can I hold this? How far will it go?
Let the weight be my own tempo
Watch me lift the sound that I couldn't say
Watch it rise before I fade
Chorus
This is gold, not heavy at all
I'm holding the rhythm and standing tall
Every rep's a memory made to last
I'm turning pressure into pure past
Gold that burns like the fire in my chest
No chains holding me back from being best
Sweat on my collarbone where shadows play
Weight of gold is what I've been waiting for
Bridge
Not the weight, not the time, not the sweat
It's who lifts it, standing tall and complete
Iron's just a witness to how I'm made
Every barbell swing is my own parade
Let the dust settle, let the iron cool
I don't need a trophy, this is my rule
My collarbone's still warm where shadows play
Gold in every breath that I take today
Chorus
This is gold, not heavy at all
I'm holding the rhythm and standing tall
Every rep's a memory made to last
I'm turning pressure into pure past
Gold that burns like the fire in my chest
No chains holding me back from being best
Sweat on my collarbone where shadows play
Weight of gold is what I've been waiting for
