Heart of Gold

Verse 1

Pocket full of pebbles

Counting every stair

The hallway stretches miles

From here to anywhere

A river made of grown-ups

Flows past my tiny knees

I'm holding my umbrella

Against their mysteries

Pre-Chorus

The lights are bright

The doors are wide

But I'm still small

I'll climb inside

Chorus

This world is way too big for me

But my two feet keep walking

Every step a victory

Every wall my mountain climbing

This world is way too big

But I won't fold

I'm a small boy

With a heart of gold

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh-oh

Small boy, big dreams

Oh-oh-oh

Watch me grow

Verse 2

The ceiling's out of reach

The windows kiss the sky

I trace the constellations

With my sleepy eyes

They say just keep on growing

Slow as slow can be

But I see the whole horizon

From my little sea

Pre-Chorus

The streets are loud

The ride is long

But I've got songs

To sing along

Chorus

This world is way too big for me

But my two feet keep walking

Every step a victory

Every wall my mountain climbing

This world is way too big

But I won't fold

I'm a small boy

With a heart of gold

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh-oh

Small boy, big dreams

Oh-oh-oh

Watch me grow

Bridge

One day I'll touch the doorframe

Without a single jump

One day these giant buildings

Will look like tiny chunks

But I don't need tomorrow

To feel like I belong

This moment feels so big

And I feel big and strong

Chorus

This world is way too big for me

But my two feet keep walking

Every step a victory

Every wall my mountain climbing

This world is way too big

But I won't fold

I'm a small boy

With a heart of gold

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh-oh

Small boy, big dreams

Oh-oh-oh

Watch me grow

Oh-oh-oh

I'm taking flight

Oh-oh-oh

Into the light
