Gold - Beverley Knight

Giles a fellow blogger (Giles World) recently posted a great review on the British soul singer Beverley Knight.

I'll suggest that you should check out his well written blog when you have a moment.

Gold is a song written by Beverley Knight a few years ago and it carries a really strong message that people everywhere can relate and be inspired by. We all been through times when a person who is close to you doesn't realise your true value. The secret is that you should recognise your true value within yourself.

This picture taken on a misty morning in Spain last year was my inspiration for choosing this song. The golden flowers hidden in the mist, hiding there true value if you don't take your time to look.

Have a golden day and recognise the gold in your life!

GOLD

Some people never recognise it
Though its right before their eyes
And shines in all its glory
They never ever see
They choose something that looks just like it
And it may glitter all the time
But gold it will never be
I guess you never held on to quality
Or you woulda recognised by now
Something so special so true
When its standing right in front of you

I'm gold babe
Catch me in the slipstream
Passing by the fools who just don't know
Pure gold babe
Youre looking at the real thing
If you knew my worth you wouldn't let go

Gold lies in rivers undiscovered
Hidden from the sight of those
Who dont know what to look for
(they aint never gonna find it)
Sometimes the value is uncovered
Other times its cast aside
By those who are just unsure

I guess you never held on to quality
Or you would of recognised by now
Something so special so true
When shes standing right in front of you

All the things you failed to see
Separated you from me
I decide who wins my time
And who comes inside yeah
Cause what is true and what is real
Finds a way of being revealed
I dont have to even try
Cause Im certified-pure-

Gold
