Verse 1
Counted every penny that I earned tonight
Tucked the bills into a worn leather wallet tight
Fifteen minutes left on this long stretch of floor
Still got sweat rolling down my palms like before
Saw a kid come in with eyes that shone so bright
Working his first shift, running from the light
Pre-Chorus
Can you feel it rising?
Every single second turning into gold
Is this what they mean by moving forward?
Something in me is breaking free now
Chorus
Hold on to the spark
Hold on when your body says let go
It's worth every single scar
It's worth every dollar you've made so far
Breathe it in, breathe it deep
This is where the best of you sleep
Verse 2
Clock ticked five and I clocked out slow
Wiped my sweat against a sticky register row
Walked outside into a sky that turned pink gold
Felt every tired muscle unfold
Saw myself standing right where I started from
Same worn shoes, same heavy drum
Pre-Chorus
Can you feel it rising?
Every single second turning into gold
Is this what they mean by moving forward?
Something in me is breaking free now
Chorus
Hold on to the spark
Hold on when your body says let go
It's worth every single scar
It's worth every dollar you've made so far
Breathe it in, breathe it deep
This is where the best of you sleep
Bridge
Maybe I'm not out from under yet
Maybe this is just a lesson to repeat
But at least I kept my hands up on the grind
At least I never let it leave me blind
Gold ain't what you hold in your hand tonight
It's the way that light still shines inside
Chorus
Hold on to the spark
Hold on when your body says let go
It's worth every single scar
It's worth every dollar you've made so far
Breathe it in, breathe it deep
This is where the best of you sleep
