Dust and Gold

I was dust Blowing in the wind. No direction, No place to begin. People walk right through me Like I wasn't there. I had nothing left, Not even a prayer. But something in the dark Was quietly working. Something I couldn't see Was slowly building. I was dust, now I'm gold. I was lost, now I'm home. Everything that broke me made me shine. I was dust, but I was gold The whole time. The years were hard, the nights were long. I made mistakes, I got things wrong. But every fall taught me how to land. Every closed door led me where I stand. Something in the dark Was quietly working. Something I couldn't see Was slowly building. I was dust, now I'm gold. I was lost, now I'm home. Everything that broke me made me shine. I was dust, but I was gold The whole time. Still dust, still gold. Both at once, that's the truth untold. I don't need to be perfect, I just need To be real. Dust and gold, That's how I heal. Dust and gold. Dust and gold.
