You need the inner voice
To hear gold in the simple

I was sold
To an old lady
Who needed work done
In her yard

You need the inner voice
To hear gold in the simple

I moved rocks
One pile to the next
From morning to night
All alone

You need the inner voice
To hear gold in the simple

Save the dog
Who watched me mostly
Didn’t offer help
Or friendship

You need the inner voice
To hear gold in the simple

And I’m not
Better for the work
I learned no lessons
Just passed time

You need the inner voice
To hear gold in the simple
