lyrics

Crystal and gold

I hope that I could tell you and make you understand
That your dreams are not made for me
I know you had the best of intentions in mind
It's the way you were brought up to believe
But I could always smell a fresh wind in the air
I could see the future looking bright
I could see the world chancing with the times
And letting go of what was behind

You always graved for crystal and gold
And I could never fit the mould
You had your own castle you called home
but i still belong on the road
I never cared for the crystal and gold
I never cared for your mould
I know you are so proud of your home
I still prefer my road

Oh how I wish you could see it my way
But I know it ain't meant to be
I know there isn't much money on my name
Still I am rich beyond my wildest dreams
I walked on the sandy beach with my bare feet
Of every ocean and deep blue see
I made friends all around the world
now they are part of my family
