Six Strings of Gold

[Intro]
[Verse]
The shipyard gates are tight
I worked through every night
I gave away my gold
To keep her from the cold
My pockets might be thin
But I let the spirit in
[Pre-Chorus]
Sunlight on the floor
I don't need no more
I found a better way
To live out every day
[Chorus]
Pick up that old guitar
Be exactly who you are
Turn the struggle into song
Where the broken hearts belong
Let the brassy horns blow
Let the whole world know
[Verse]
(Lord, help me now!)
Little Mo has got the touch
It doesn't take that much
Just a finger on the wire
To set the soul on fire
They gather 'round the chair
With music in the air
[Chorus]
Pick up that old guitar
Be exactly who you are
Turn the struggle into song
Where the broken hearts belong
Let the brassy horns blow
Let the whole world know
[Bridge]
From the docks to the street
With a gospel-driven beat
I gave it all away
To see a brighter day
Now the kids call my name
And it’s never felt the same
[Hook]
Strum it loud and clear
Wash away every fear
Keep the rhythm true
Pass it down to you
[Chorus]
Pick up that old guitar
Be exactly who you are
Turn the struggle into song
Where the broken hearts belong
Let the brassy horns blow
Let the whole world know
[Post-Chorus]
(Yeah, we're walking!)
Walking in the light
Everything is looking bright
Healing in my soul
Making everything feel whole
[Outro]
