Better Than Gold (Proverbs 16:16)

I used to chase the shimmer

Bright coins in my dreams

Counted all my value

In things that lost their gleam

But silence started speaking

When the noise grew old

And wisdom whispered softly

I'm better than gold

You can keep the silver

Let the diamonds fade

I found a truth

This world can't trade

Insight's a treasure

That can't be sold

I'm walking with wisdom

She's better than gold

I've walked through fire with nothing

But truth inside my hands

I traded all the glitter

For what I understand

No crown could ever tell me

What my soul already knows

That wisdom's worth the waiting

She's better than gold

You can keep the silver

Let the diamonds fade

I found a truth

This world can't trade

Insight's a treasure

That can't be sold

I'm walking with wisdom

She's better than gold

She doesn't sparkle for the crowd

She speaks when hearts are loud

No vault can hold her light

She teaches you what's right

You can keep the silver

Let the diamonds fade

I found a truth

This world can't trade

Insight's a treasure

That can't be sold

I'm walking with wisdom

She's better than gold

Insight's a treasure

That can't be sold

I'm walking with wisdom

She's better than gold
