Lyrics:

In ancient tales of gods and their might
Was a chosen one with power so bright
He could change anything with a touch of his hand
And he had the whole land under his command

A kingdom of gold and the riches bestowed
And the power of Midas it just over flowed
The world was his play thing
His touch was amazing
Sure he was cool
But his fire was blazing

Midas
Brighten up the sky
Gold all around you
Let it catch your eye
Midas
Nothing but pure gold
It’s just like magic
Under his control

Gold as far as every eye sees
It was destiny that he would be king
There was power alive running up through his veins
And his kingdom remains under his domain

But it seems like his reach was exceeding his grasp
It can all change so fast when there’s nothing that lasts
Just as the prophecy foretold
Not everything that glitters is gold

Midas
Brighten up the sky
Gold all around you
Let it catch your eye
Midas
Nothing but pure gold
It’s just like magic
Under his control

It’s bright it’s shiny and it’s all mine

Come on
Get up get up
It’s the Midas touch

Come on
Get up get up
It’s the Midas touch

Come on
Get up get up
It’s the Midas touch

Come on
Get up get up
It’s the Midas touch

Midas
Brighten up the sky
Gold all around you
Let it catch your eye
Midas
Nothing but pure gold
It’s just like magic
Under his control

Midas
Brighten up the sky
Gold all around you
Let it catch your eye
Midas
Nothing but pure gold
It’s just like magic
Under his control

It’s bright it’s shiny and it’s all mine
It’s bright it’s shiny and it’s all mine
