I thought I had it all in hand
A treasure waiting, promised land
The charts were high, my heart was bold
But all I found was fool’s gold
I chased the dream, but it slipped away
The shine was bright, but led astray
With every step, the lies unfold
All I held was fool’s gold
I saw the numbers, watched them rise
My pulse was quick, a sweet surprise
But in the end, the fall was steep
A price I paid, a wound too deep
Each trade I made, I thought I knew
But now I see, it wasn’t true
The dream I held was just a flame
It burned so bright, then left with shame
I thought I’d win, but lost instead
The golden path I walked turned red
I chased the dream, but it slipped away
The shine was bright, but led astray
With every step, the lies unfold
All I held was fool’s gold
The lesson learned, I won’t forget
A scar remains, but no regret
Through every loss, I find my way
I’ll rise again, a brighter day
With every fall, I’ll stand so tall
I’ll leave behind the market’s call
The world may spin, the numbers sway
But I’ll be strong, I’ll find my way
I won’t be fooled by empty light
I’ll walk the path, I’ll choose what’s right
Fool’s gold may glisten, but it’s false inside
I’ve seen the truth, I’ve cast aside
With every tear, I see so clear
This game of risk, I hold no fear
But heed this note—your choice to make
No promises of what you’ll take
This is no advice, just song and sound
The risks are yours, so stand your ground
The gold is gone, but I remain
I’ll rise again through all the pain
I’ll find the truth, I’ll find my way
The real gold shines another day
I chased the dream, but it slipped away
The shine was bright, but led astray
With every step, the lies unfold
All I held was fool’s gold
