Golden Dream

Dream I keep tucked away in my chest
Waitin' on the moment it'll awaken

Got a dream burnin' quiet inside me
Strong as oak roots, wild as can be
In the dirt and the dark I learned to wait
Things the good lord'll reveal someday
If the weight bears down, it ain't in vain
He's been workin' on my heart

My dream's gold, it ain't gonna disappear
Through the fire it grows, then it'll blossom here
God don't run late, he knows just the time
Today's a seed bed, tomorrow's a climb
My dream's gold, yeah, I'm gonna believe
Shine comes after you persevere

I've thought ‘bout foldin' up, callin' it quits
But his voice cuts through, says: Girl, don't you quit this
Every tear drops down like a prayer
Polishin' faith right there in my hand

My dream's gold, it ain't gonna disappear
Through the fire it grows, then it'll blossom here
God don't run late, he knows just the time
Today's a seed bed, tomorrow's a climb
My dream's gold, yeah, I'm gonna believe
Shine comes after you persevere

Ain't no punishment, it's all preparation
He writes our story in his own fashion
Even when the road's all blocked
That promise in me never stopped

My dream's gold, heaven's own promise
Forged in stillness, kept by Jesus
If today's the grind, tomorrow's a song
Victory built on faith and prayer strong
My dream's gold, it ain't gonna disappear
Best gift the father ever gave me here

I wait with hope down in my soul
Trust the way he's made it whole
My dream's gold, yeah, it's gold
