Britt Nicole - Gold Lyrics
Lyrics
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
You were walking on the moon, now you're feeling low
What they said wasn't true, you're beautiful
Sticks and stones break your bones, I know what you're feeling
Words like those won't steal your glow, you're one in a million
This, this is for all the girls, boys all over the world
Whatever you've been told, you're worth more than gold
So hold your head up high, it's your time to shine
From the inside out it shows, you're worth more than gold
(Gold gold, you're gold)
You're worth more than gold
(Gold gold, you're gold)
When everybody keeps score, afraid you're gonna lose
Just ignore they don't know the real you
All the rain in the sky can't put out your fire
Of all the stars out tonight, you shine brighter
This, this is for all the girls, boys all over the world
Whatever you've been told, you're worth more than gold
So hold your head up high, it's your time to shine
From the inside out it shows, you're worth more than gold
(Gold gold, you're gold)
Baby your gold
Your gold
So don't let anybody tell you that you're not loved
And don't let anybody tell you that you're not enough
Yeah there are days that we all feel like we're messed up
But the truth is that we're all diamonds in the rough
So don't be ashamed to wear your crown
You're a king you're a queen inside and out
You glow like the moon, you shine like the stars
This is for you, wherever you are
This, this is for all the girls, boys all over the world
Whatever you've been told, you're worth more than gold
(So hold your head) So hold your head up high,
It's your time to shine
From the inside out it shows, you're worth more than gold
(Gold gold, you're gold)
Baby your gold
Your gold
So don't be ashamed to wear your crown
You're a king you're a queen inside and out

Britt Nicole - Gold
Meaning & Inspiration
Britt Nicole’s “Gold,” released in 2012 from her album of the same name, shines as a powerful anthem of intrinsic worth and divine validation, resonating deeply with those who seek encouragement in their faith. The song’s central message centers on recognizing one's inherent value, not as defined by the fleeting opinions of the world, but as a precious creation lovingly crafted by God. This perspective powerfully challenges the common human tendency to measure self-worth by external achievements, possessions, or the approval of others. Instead, Nicole guides the listener to understand that true value is an unshakeable truth bestowed by the Creator, a truth that transcends earthly circumstances.
This message finds strong echoes throughout Scripture, particularly in verses that speak to God’s intimate knowledge and profound love for humanity. Consider Psalm 139:14, which poetically declares, "I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well." This sentiment perfectly underpins Nicole’s assertion that we are not simply accidental occurrences but are intentionally and beautifully designed. The song encourages a shift in perspective, urging listeners to see themselves through God’s eyes, a viewpoint that never finds fault but only sees potential and inherent beauty. This aligns with the apostle Paul’s admonition in Romans 12:2: "Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will." The transformation Paul speaks of is precisely the internal recalibration that "Gold" champions, moving away from worldly standards towards God’s unchanging truth about our identity.
Furthermore, the song’s theme of resilience in the face of adversity can be linked to the biblical concept of enduring trials for the sake of developing character and faith. While not explicitly about hardship, the underlying encouragement to embrace one's true worth implicitly empowers listeners to stand firm when challenges arise. James 1:12 offers a beautiful perspective on this: "Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him." The "gold" in Nicole's song can be interpreted as this refined, enduring quality that emerges when our identity is rooted in Christ, a quality that will ultimately prove more valuable than any earthly treasure. The song, therefore, serves not just as a pleasant melody but as a profound reminder that our deepest security and most significant worth are found in the unwavering love and eternal promises of God, who sees us as more precious than gold, more valuable than any earthly possession.
