Gold
[MATEO, sung]
You came with dreams in a bright golden dress
When did life teach you to settle for less?
I know it's hard, and I know it gets cold
But deep in the heart of this city
There's gold

[SOFIA, spoken]
Mateo, your papi's coming home, don't let him catch you dancing with my-a scarf!

[MATEO, sung]
Where is this girl, with the sparkling crown?
When did the fear make you start looking down?
Look all around you, there's sights to be-o
I'm gonna work 'til i find it, you were gone!

Moving furniture on Madison and 5th!
Mom, I've seen it and it's more than just myth
There's a penthouse, there is stories in the air!
If I play my music, I can gеt a stare!
On the souls of Abuela and Nuеva York I swear!
I swear!

This town's not ready for what I can do
They're slow and steady, I'm shiny and new
Papi responds with, "Just do as you're told!"
Well, silver and bronze just won't cut it
[MATEO & SOFIA, spoken]
Baila conmigo un poquito! (No)
Baila conmigo un poquito
Baila conmigo un poquito!
Baila aquí con tu hijo! (Hey)
La reina (ha, ha, ha)
There she is!
Ahí está, ma!

[MATEO & BOTH, sung]
I'm gonna find you a new golden dress
Never you mind how I do it, say yes!
Taking your time, sprinkler picture top-fold
We're gonna shine like that skylight!
Shine like skylight!
