Song Lyrics

"Cross Of Gold"

by Michael W. Smith
Album: Change Your World

Where do you stand'
What is your statement'
What is it you're trying to say'
What's in your hand'
What's in your basement'
What's in the cards you don't play'
Are you holding the key
Or are you intending
To pick the lock of heaven's gate'
It's confusing to me
The message you're sending
And I don't know if I can relate

Chorus:
What's your line
Tell me why you wear your cross of gold
State of mind
Or does it find a way into your soul'

Is it a flame'
Is it a passion'
A symbol of love living in you
Or is it a game'
Religion in fashion
Some kind of phase you're going through'
We all travel the extremes
From cellar to rafter
Looking for a place in the sun
So I'm trying to see
What you're headed after
But I don't know where you're coming from

CHORUS BRIDGE: (spoken)

For some it's simply something to wear around your neck
Just a chain
Jewelry
Is it decoration'
Is it an icon
Or proclamation'
An icon of what'
What'
For some it's simply something to wear around your neck
Just a chain
It means a lot more than that to me

CHORUS
