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
