More Than Gold – Valentina Ploy

Mama used to say when I was twelve years old
It’s nice to be a child, don’t rush to grow old
With time you’ll realize that nothing worth comes easy
Daddy used to say when I was 15 years old
You’ve got the courage in your pocket and the strength in your soul
Just go be yourself ’cause it will never leave ya

And now that I have grown old
I’m still a child in a different home
I’m still learning to let go
With all my fears and all my flaws

I’m singing now oh oh oh, life is unknown
And when you think you have something to lose, that’s a new dawn
And oh oh oh, I’m not alone
You might think this is nothing, but nothing means more than gold

Mama used to bring me with her everywhere
I’m lucky I had someone that knew how to care
With time you realize that real things don’t come easy
Daddy used to warn me ’bout the wolves out there
He said, “Ooh baby girl, good hearts are rare,
Hold on to them, ’cause they will never leave ya”

Now that I’ve grown old
I’m still a child in a different home
I’m still learning to let go
With all my fears and all my flaws

And I’m singing now oh oh oh, life is unknown
And when you think you have something to lose, that’s a new dawn
And oh oh oh, I’m not alone
You might think this is nothing, but nothing means more than gold

Oh oh oh, I’m far from home
I have my dreams to follow, but I promise that I’m not gone
And oh oh oh, you’re in my bones
I never thought I had nothing ’cause you are more than gold
