Pure Gold
Though we are tried like silver in the fire
We come out as pure gold
We must be refined
And then we need a shine
We come out as pure gold
There is a process to our fullfillingness
There is signifigance to every experience
From each trial we learn
We learn
We learn
Our foundation becomes firm
Our foundation becomes firm
We're tested then melted
Like brass, tin, and iron
We become like a stone
We're carved, scraped and shaven
Like rock, wood, and metal
We become like a stone
There is a process to our fullfillingness
There is signifigance to every experience
From each trial we learn
We learn
We learn
Though we're tried in the fire
(Out as pure gold)
Though we're tried in the fire, we come
(Out as pure gold)
Though we're tried in the fire
(We are tried in the fire)
(Out as pure gold)
Though we're tried in the fire
(We are tried in the fire)
(Out as pure gold)
Yes we are, yes we...
Yes we are, yes we are
Yes we are, yeah
Though we're tried in the fire, we come
(Out as pure gold)
Though we're tried in the fire, we come
(Out as pure gold)
Though we're tried in the fire
(Out as pure gold)
Though we're tried in the fire, we come
(Out as pure gold)
Yes we are
Yes we are, yes we are
Yes we are, yes we are
Ahhhhhhhh
Ahhhhhhhh, ooooooh!
Ahhhhhhhh
Ahhhhhhhh, ooooooh!
Lord make us whole
(I want you to make me whole)
Lord make us whole
(Even though I go through the fire, but I come out as pure gold)
Lord make us whole
(Tried in the fire, tried in the fire)
Lord make us whole
