There Is No Greater Gold
Discovering Love's True Worth: There Is No Greater Gold
Lyrics
Love used to be a stranger to me
Love was unfamiliar to the speaker in the past.
Love was so disappointing
Previous experiences with love were disappointing.
I was waiting for a sign
The speaker was waiting for a sign or indication related to love.
I was looking for some company
The speaker sought companionship.
So I took a walk outside
Took a walk outside for some reason.
What a lucky day
Expressing gratitude for a fortunate day.
I saw the devil waiting for me
The devil is metaphorically mentioned, possibly representing temptation or negativity.
He’d bullets and green paper
The devil had bullets and green paper, symbolizing materialism and negative influences.
He’d been walking through the earth
The devil had been present on Earth, moving unpredictably.
Swinging to and fro and down in it*
Description of the devil's movement.
As I turned to walk away
The speaker decided to walk away from the negative influence.
That’s when I saw your face…
The turning point where the speaker encountered someone significant.
Love, there is nothing better than this
Expressing the positive value of love.
Love, think of all the chances we miss
Reflecting on missed opportunities in love.
See the people walking by
Observing people with technology-driven lives.
With their mobile and computer eyes
Describing people absorbed in mobile and computer screens.
If they’d just afford the time
If people could spare time, they would realize the value of love.
There is no greater gold
Conveying that love is the most precious thing.
Love, I don’t think I’ll see you again
Expressing uncertainty about meeting love again.
It isn’t easy you say we’re friends
Acknowledging the difficulty in maintaining a friendship after a romantic connection.
When you opened up your heart
Describing the moment when the person opened their heart, bringing clarity to the speaker.
Just enough to make me see again
The openness allowed the speaker to see things anew.
When you stopped to take my hand
Significant moment when the person took the speaker's hand.
It was meant this way
Emphasizing that the encounter was destined to happen.
It was meant this way
Reiterating the predestined nature of the encounter.
