What Tides Of Gold is about
The title track is about heritage and identity: stories "etched like rivers" in her skin, ancestors whispering through the breeze, "the daughter of the drum". It's one of Gabriela's most rhythmic songs.
Tides Of Gold lyrics
Feel the stories in my skin,
Etched like rivers, deep within.
Every tear that falls tonight,
Fills the ocean with my fight.
I’m the daughter of the drum,
Where I’m headed, you can’t come.
Ancestors whisper through the breeze,
Singing freedom through the trees.
Oh, I move with the tides of gold,
Carry truths that can’t be sold.
Melodies in shadows glow,
Hear my heartbeat, feel it flow.
Oh, I move with the tides of gold,
Stories ancient, still untold.
I’m the voice of roots and rain,
Feel the rhythm in my veins.
My scars, they bloom like morning sun,
Proof of battles lost and won.
I’m the echo in the stone,
Through the dark, I walk alone.
A griot’s heart, a siren’s cry,
Weaving verses that don’t die.
Take my hand, come stand in fire,
Every note lifts us higher.
Oh, I move with the tides of gold,
Carry truths that can’t be sold.
Melodies in shadows glow,
Hear my heartbeat, feel it flow.
Oh, I move with the tides of gold,
Stories ancient, still untold.
I’m the voice of roots and rain,
Feel the rhythm in my veins.
Underneath the midnight moon,
I’m the thread, the weaver’s tune.
Dust of stars upon my tongue,
Every word, a song unsung.
Dripping honey, sharp like blades,
Cutting through what time has made.
Through the echoes, I remain,
Love and legacy, my chain.
