DESCRIPTION:
Help my song "Greater Than Gold" to be considered for the credits of the Hobbit movies by 'Liking' my Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/manymiles. With enough people behind me, my licensing team will have a better chance of getting this song in the door.

This song was inspired by the book The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien. The song speaks about the journey of the adventurer and the growth that happens through facing one's challenges and darkness. It contrasts Bilbo's innocent spirit with the greed of the dwarves and points to what the real treasure is.


Greater Than Gold

Over the Mountain, far from my home
What I have given to seek out this gold
Dark paths and danger, but company kept
My heart the stranger, 'till first dawn I left

Chorus
What I am Seeking
Can't be held or bought
I long to see things
That are not yet lost

The white pointed wizard, in the twilight of elves
Their deep song and laughter that once filled the dale
The darkness is lurking, the task 'or me looms
But the moon left us hoping, when she revealed the runes

Chorus
I once was a young lad, but worn feet have shown
'Till I came to the darkness, my strength was unknown
What I am seeking can't be held or lost
I long to be me, whatever the cost

One day we will part ways, and under the hill
My journey will take me, if that be the will
Gain that I carry, though long be it's toll
A life that's well lived in is greater than gold.
