In this poignant ballad, the artist conveys a deep yearning for purity and authenticity in human connections. The metaphor of being a "miner for a heart of gold" symbolizes an arduous quest for genuine love and integrity amidst life's complexities. The repetition of the phrase "I'm getting old" underscores a sense of urgency and the passage of time, highlighting the existential weight of this pursuit. Through evocative imagery spanning diverse locales like Hollywood and Redwood, the lyrics reflect both an external journey across physical spaces and an internal voyage within the mind. This duality emphasizes the universal struggle to find true emotional fulfillment before time runs out. #ExistentialQuest #SearchForAuthenticity #EmotionalFulfillment
Heart of Gold
Lyrics
I want to live
I want to give
I've been a miner
For a heart of gold
It's these expressions
I never give
It keeps me searching for a heart of gold
And I'm getting old
It keeps me searching for a heart of gold
And I'm getting old
I've been to Hollywood
I've been to Redwood
I crossed the ocean
For a heart of gold
I've been in my mind
It's such a fine line
It keeps me searching for a heart of gold
And I'm getting old
It keeps me searching for a heart of gold
And I'm getting old
Oh yeah
Keeps me searching for a heart of gold
Keeps me searching for a heart of gold
Keeps me searching and I'm growing old
Keeps me searching for a heart of gold
Keeps me searching and I'm growing old
Keeps me searching for a heart of gold
And I'm getting old
