Finding Gold in Life's Dust: Carolina Story's Uplifting Journey
Lyrics
“Gold”
"Gold"
Woke up today this side of the ground
Expressing gratitude for being alive today.
That’s half the battle
Acknowledging that being alive is a significant part of life's challenges.
Staying up not down
Highlighting the struggle to stay positive and not give in to negativity.
Come on baby can you hear that sound?
Asking someone to pay attention to a positive development or opportunity.
Our train’s a-comin’
Anticipating a positive change, symbolized by a departing train.
Gonna leave this town
Expressing the desire to leave the current situation or place.
Woke up today this side of the ground
Reiterating the importance of waking up alive as a victory.
That’s half the battle
Emphasizing the ongoing struggle to stay positive.
Staying up not down
Repeating the theme of resilience and staying above life's challenges.
Ain’t got no money
Acknowledging a lack of financial resources.
No help in sight
Expressing a sense of isolation or absence of help.
But it’s alright honey cause we got tonight
Finding solace in the present moment despite financial difficulties.
It’s getting harder to eat
Describing the increasing difficulty of survival.
On this side of the street
Specifically, referencing challenges on the speaker's side of the street.
But I’m clinging to the words that I was told
Clutching onto advice or beliefs despite adversity.
As life knocks you down on that dirty ground
Life's challenges are equated to being knocked down on a dirty ground.
All that dust you’ll find was really gold
Despite hardships, realizing that what seems like dust is actually gold, symbolizing hidden value or worth.
Woke up today this side of the ground
Reiterating the significance of waking up alive.
That’s half the battle
Stressing the ongoing battle of staying above life's difficulties.
Staying up not down
Reemphasizing the struggle to stay positive.
Come on baby can you hear that sound?
Inviting someone to notice a positive change or opportunity.
Our train’s a-comin’
Anticipating a positive change represented by a departing train.
Gonna leave this town
Expressing the desire to leave the current situation or place.
It’s getting harder to eat
Reiterating the increasing difficulty of survival.
On this side of the street
Reemphasizing challenges on the speaker's side of the street.
But I’m clinging to the words that I was told
Holding onto advice or beliefs despite adversity.
As life knocks you down on that dirty ground
Equating life's challenges to being knocked down on a dirty ground.
All that dust you’ll find was really gold
Reiterating the idea that what appears as dust is actually gold, symbolizing hidden value or worth.
