Slaid Cleaves - Go For The Gold lyrics

There's only one rule, that you must heed It conquers fear, hatred and greed It trumps all others, Your soul to feed There's only one rule, You'll ever need You could be Hindu, You may be be Sikh It makes no difference, What tongue you speak You could pray to Allah, Or be an atheist You'll be righteous, If you remember this It ain't the silver, It ain't the bronze It's the foundation, That all rests upon No precious metal, Will save your soul But if you seek glory, Go for the gold Some so-called Christians, From time to time Forget this rule, And become blind They use their church, To try and separate When it's common ground, That makes us great It ain't the silver, It's much more dear When Jesus spoke, Did you not hear? Unto others, You must do As you'd have them, Do unto you Forget those silly little laws, thou shalt nots on days of the week How to dress and who stoned who, what you can and cannot eat When you go home now, Remember please To count your blessings, Down on your knees And make a promise, To do the best you can To be a friend, To your fellow man It ain't the silver, It ain't the bronze It doesn't matter, Who's team you're on No precious metal, Will save your soul But if you seek glory, Go for the gold
