Gold From the Ground Up

I see you in your indigo blues
Strutting your strut
Looking cooooool, my sister
Chin up, crown is steady
Your whole moooooood up

And it is because your beauty is everlasting 
Because your hair is strength defined 
Because your hands are heaven where demons wouldn't dare go.
Because
Because
Because
Because all you build from the ground up is gold.
